At NEW NARI, we believe in building more than just homes—we’re committed to building futures. Through our NARI in the Neighborhood and Workforce Development initiatives, we proudly support programs that strengthen our community and encourage young people to explore careers in the remodeling trades. One such program is the Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity’s Youth Build, and we were honored to play a role in its success this year.
Recently, we received a heartfelt thank-you from Habitat for Humanity, recognizing our contribution to the Youth Build program:
“Last week, we dedicated the Youth Build home! It was a truly special moment, and we’re so grateful for the support that made it possible, including your generous donation.
The dedication was a great celebration of all the hard work put in by the students. They not only gained valuable hands-on experience but also felt immense pride in what they accomplished. Seeing them show off their work with confidence was inspiring. And now, whenever they drive by this home, they’ll know they built something lasting—not just a house, but a foundation for a family and a difference in their community. Thank you for being part of making this possible. We appreciate all you do!”
What is Habitat Youth Build?
The Habitat Youth Build program provides high school students with hands-on training in construction and remodeling. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, students work together to build a home for a local family in need. Throughout the process, they develop valuable skills, gain real-world experience, and discover the rewarding impact of a career in the skilled trades.
Supporting this initiative aligns with our commitment to Workforce Development, as it encourages the next generation of remodeling professionals. By investing in programs like Youth Build, we’re not only shaping the future of our industry but also helping young people find meaningful career paths while making a tangible impact in their community.
