Our First Build With Habitat For Humanity: Seminole-Apopka
Dear UFCF Community,
I'm writing you to share with you that on January 4th, 2020, our students of the Future Leaders United After-School Enrichment and Mentoring Program participated in their first of many Habitat For Humanity home builds with the Seminole-Apopka affiliate.
The students engaged in a variety of construction projects! This includes but was not limited to framing, siding, painting, installations, sod, and landscaping. #ServantLeaders #CommunityDevelopment #habitatforhumanity #FutureLeadersUnited #evanshighschool
With that said, below is the attached email from Habitat for Humanity please check it out to see our impact.
In the Spirit of Excellence,
Julien M. Serrano-O'Neil, Community & Volunteer Outreach Coordinator

Thank you Evan's Future Leaders United!
Dear United Foundation of Central Florida, Inc. and Future Leaders United,
We couldn't be more thankful for the time and energy you spent painting brighter futures for families in our Juniper Bend community. We had such a great time with your team last week- thank you for being ready to help despite the pouring rain! It was so special that you were able to meet Amara, our Evan's High School graduate. Thank you for all that you do to help us build with families like Amara's! I hope to see you again real soon, until then, Mica- the first home on 12th St, has a few words of thanks for you:
Thank you everyone who plays a role in making this dream of mine come true. I have been watching this home get built from the ground up, from the clearing of the lot, to framing, and even witnessing the roof get put on. As a kid, I always had this vision of owning a home and with the help of you guys you’re making it happen. Thank you Habitat for allowing that dream to come true.
-Mica, Future Habitat Homeowner
Building in partnership,
