Heartland Habitat for Humanity and the North Kansas City School District will partner during the 2009-2010 school year to teach trade students construction skills. With land donated by the North Kansas City School District, students from the district's trades and industries school will participate in building a Habitat home for a deserving family. The build kicks off in September at the 3500 block of NE 82nd Terrace in Kansas City, MO.

"It's a great example of community partnership," said Tom Lally, Executive Director. "The students learn marketable skills while helping to build an affordable home in a great community for a wonderful family."
