Collegiate Challenge is Habitat for Humanity's year-round alternative break program that provides opportunities for students from youth groups, high schools and colleges to spend a week of their school break building houses in partnership with a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the United States. For many students, Collegiate Challenge is this first interaction with Habitat and their first step in forming a lifelong relationship with Habitat for Humanity. Started in 1989 as a spring break program, Collegiate Challenge is now a year-round program that involves thousands of students annually.

A Collegiate Challenge trip may be the best school break trip you will ever have. Not only do you help people in need--it's also fun! You'll have the chance to work on your home improvement skills, connect with new people in a new place and put your faith into action by making a real difference in Habitat for Humanity's work of eliminating substandard housing.
