Habitat for Humanity is one of the most active campus chapters, sending more than 130 students in 6-7 service trips across the country each spring breakaway and an international trip in May every other year. In addition, Habitat for Humanity organizes a variety of on-campus and local events within the Fargo-Moorhead community. Through Habitat for Humanity, students are engaged in service in their community, build relationships with both students and community members, and explore underlying issues creating the need for affordable housing and the call of faith in responding to both immediate physical needs and long-term social complexities. Habitat for Humanity is a campus chapter of the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, Lake Agassiz. For more information, email hfh@cord.edu.
Each academic year, Justice Journeys coordinates, recruits for, plans for, and executes three trips during spring breakaway, as well as occasional international trips in May, with the aim of encountering, engaging, learning, and accompanying an issue of justice by walking alongside people, organizations, and systems directly affected by and working toward justice. Topics and locations change each year. Each trip typically includes one faculty or staff advisor, two student leaders, and 8-12 student participants.
