The Youth Programs Department of Habitat for Humanity was founded with the mission to capture the imagination, energy, and hope of young people worldwide, ages 5 to 25. The goals of Habitat for Humanity's youth program are to:

• Promote youth involvement in supporting the needs of SCHFH
  
• Provide support for youth volunteers & those that support them through resources, training, and special programs
  
• Believe that youth are the builders and leaders of tomorrow: therefore we should help build youth service habits and a commitment to social problems while reaching out to families
  
• Seek to offer opportunities for Sussex County youth to partner with HFH in an environment that fosters community leadership and teamwork while promoting the goal of eliminating poverty housing
