- If your church, business, civic group or other group is interested in
partnering with DuPage Habitat on a build opportunity, the first step is
for our outreach team to meet with you at your place of business or faith.
Please contact our Scheduling Coordinator at 630-510-3737 or via
email to schedule a
meeting.
- If you then decide to partner with DuPage Habitat, we will connect you
with our Volunteer Coordinator to schedule your build date(s). The
Volunteer Coordinator will provide your group with a group registration
form, plus all the materials to prepare for the build, including waivers,
what to wear, safety checklist and more.

Join our Youth United Council. It is a group of dedicated
youth that plan and participate in various activities that seek to
engage youth ages 5-25 and work towards sponsoring and building a
youth sponsored house. A council member develops leadership ability
and influences their peers toward community change. Youth United
meets the fourth Sunday of every month (3rd Sunday in November and
December) at 3 pm as a committee at our monthly volunteer meetings.
The meetings take place at our office in Wheaton, which is located
on 213 S. Wheaton Ave., Wheaton, IL 60187
