For
several years, Our House trainees partnered with Howard County, Maryland
Aging-in-Place initiative with the goal of retrofitting the homes
of senior citizens with wheelchair ramps, grab bars, and other
items. This allowed many seniors to remain in their homes despite age
or handicaps. For their work, the trainees were the first youth
group to earn Howard County's "Volunteer of the Year" award. |

The
trainees are involved in projects such as clearing and maintaining
trails in the local parks as well as large clean-up projects.
Above, they participated in the project to clean-up the Anacostia
River Watershed. |

The trainees have received the Governor's Volunteer Award for
their outstanding service to the people of Maryland. |

Our
trainees spent a week on the Eastern Shore where they erected the
trusses, installed the plywood, and shingled the roof on a home
being constructed by Habitat for Humanity. |
