Teens in the House 2021
Trade the Pool for a Week of Service Learning
This summer, the Family House is excited to host a one-of-a-kind service-learning experience for middle school and high school students. This is the perfect opportunity for teens who are looking to explore non-profit or healthcare professions and who enjoy making a difference in the community!
Join us for our annual hands-on service learning program!
2021 Teens in the House Dates
- July 19-22, 2021, Monday-Thursday, 10:00a – 12:00p each day OR

Both dates are open to middle school and high school students and students will receive a total of 8 hours of community service. During activities, students will be grouped with teens of similar ages.
