The Future Of Habitat For Humanity Sarasota Involves Youth

Dr. Larry Thompson

“It consistently amazes me that despite their rigorous class schedules, Ringling College students find time to give back to the community through a myriad of volunteer service. Habitat for Humanity Sarasota is one their favorite organizations. Each year, during New Student Orientation, we send a group of students to Habitat sites including homes that are being built, the “ReStore,” Neighborhood Stabilization Program houses, and ReHabitat. This year, during Orientation, students also painted a large “advertisement” mural on the Habitat Clearance Center exterior facing 17th street which explains to passers-by how the cycle of giving helps Habitat place families in homes. You’ll find Ringling students involved in Saturday “build days” two to three times per semester and this past March our 5th Annual Local Alternative Spring Break Project with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota involved 20 students over four days. It is estimated that nearly 75 students have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota this year, and many of those students repeat! I am so proud of Ringling students and their spirit of giving back.” Dr. Larry Thompson, President, Ringling College of Art and Design

Renee Synder

“Ringling Students Rock! Ringling student groups bring fresh ideas and renewed energy to Habitat each time they volunteer. They bring their willingness to give of their time, share their creativity and they do this with such collaboration and organization…It’s a treat to observe! In February, several students designed a “giving tree” that helped raise $10,000 for our ReStore Grand Opening Gala. In 2010, one hundred twenty five students volunteered and contributed 865 hours. Thank you Ringling Students for all that you do for Habitat and the families we serve.” Renee Synder, Executive Director Habitat for Humanity Sarasota
