In 1998, SNC Habitat for Humanity became the 500th campus chapter to be inducted into the Habitat for Humanity International Campus Chapters and Youth Program. In celebration of this and the tenth year anniversary of the Campus Chapters and Youth Program, the campus came together to build the 100th student built house in the world!
Habitat for Humanity allows students to put their love into action and build partnerships with people sharing a common goal. Participants gain greater awareness of the need for decent and affordable housing, encouraging a deeper commitment to social action (from Campus Chapters).

Organization mission statement
Our mission is to capture the imagination, energy and hope of young people in order to productively and responsibly involve them in the work of Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. The purpose of this chapter is to:
- build or rehabilitate houses in partnership with Habitat affiliates and homeowners
- educate the campus and local community about affordable housing issues and about the work of Habitat for Humanity
- raise funds for the work of Habitat
