Irvington Habitat for Humanity Project Involves IPA Students
Once again, IPA students learned some great practical lessons about home construction and the value of hard physical work while serving as Habitat for Humanity volunteers. This time, they worked on an Irvington home construction project. IPA staff members who accompanied the hard-working Ravens were Chris Ashmore, Director of IT/Athletic Director, and Rick Tyler, Facilities Associate.
This special local project completed our Habitat for Humanity projects for the calendar year. We appreciate the experiential learning and volunteer opportunity with this well-respected international nonprofit organization.
It's a labor of love for the IPA Ravens who served as Habitat for Humanity volunteers here in Irvington on Thursday, November 1, 2012.
