Benefits of Membership

There are many benefits of membership in our chapter. Members get to participate in house building, where they can learn how to use anything from hammers to power tools without any previous experience. Members also play a crucial role in fundraising efforts for new homes, lead events such as Act!Speak!Build!Week, and help our campus chapter make an impact in the community. MSU Habitat is a great way to earn community service hours, so members who participate in projects can have their volunteer hours counted towards the Presidential Service Award, a program coordinated by the Campus Volunteer Center. And best of all, by being an active member, you will make new friends while helping families who need a hand!

If you are interested in joining, please review the following:

 

a) Eligibility: Any student, faculty member, administrator, or staff person of Missouri State University, who has an interest in helping build the community we live in, can become a member of the chapter. The organization will guarantee that equal opportunity and equal access to membership, programming, facilities, and benefits shall be open to all persons who meet membership stipulations.

 

b) Dues: Chapter dues are set at $20/year, which includes a FREE chapter t-shirt (professionally made) and the option of making a second FREE t-shirt at an upcoming meeting (you make).
