Hubert Humphrey Middle School’s Builders Club is preparing for a big year with a series of community volunteer projects.

An international, student-led organization providing its members with opportunities to perform community service, build character, and develop valuable leadership skills through the vehicle of service, Builders Club is part of the Kiwanis club of Bolingbrook and Romeoville, which sponsors many youth volunteer programs. 

Humphrey Builders Club consists of 22 dedicated members, led by Dan  Zanderson, faculty advisor. They club has five student officers who oversee and run the meetings. The officers are Josh Garth, Ashlee Lamb, Katie Wood,  Princess Merriweather, Justin Lubucuas, and Tatyana Rutherford.

This year, the club will volunteer at an animal shelter, assist in an Earth Day clean up, and take part in a food drive, a clothing drive, and a gift wrapping fundraiser. 

As one member put it, "It feels good to help in my community, while  enjoying the services with my friends.”
