On the\u00a0senior\u00a0trip back from Chicago, students came up with an idea to serve\u00a0the community and their fellow Commitment friends by providing clothing to those Commitment student that had little or no means. However, Commitment serves 18 area high schools in six counties, their passion to serve their fellow students never wavered. But facing the daunting\u00a0logistics\u00a0of their original idea they began searching for\u00a0something new.<\/p>\n<p>We discovered that Crysta was going to have one of the new Habitat homes this spring. Knowing that they would require volunteers to work on their home, we put the project idea out to the students and they quickly &#8220;digitally&#8221; raised their hands to lend support.<\/p>\n<p>The Commitment Scholarship staff, students, family, and a whole host of Habitat volunteers &#8220;raised the walls&#8221; for a new home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Nicholeen Frusti<\/p>\n<p>Learning Coordinator, Outreach Services<\/p>\n<p>Commitment Scholarship Program<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8882 size-medium\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Habitat-TC-Project-20small\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-20small.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8883 size-medium\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Habitat-TC-Project-25small\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Habitat-TC-Project-25small.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, May 17, students from the NMC Commitment Scholarship Program partnered with volunteers from the Grand Traverse Habitat for Humanity to &#8220;raise the walls&#8221; on a new home for a fellow NMC Commitment Scholar and family.
