On September 13th, 2025, AYLUS members volunteered with Habitat for Humanity to help paint a senior home as part of the Senior House Preservation event. This marked their 47th contribution to the initiative.
This project was part of Habitat for Humanity’s mission to improve living conditions and bring comfort to community members through safe, well-maintained housing.
During the event, members actively participated in both the preparation and painting processes. They began by carefully taping off window and door frames and covering floors with protective tarps to prevent any paint splatter or damage. These initial steps were crucial in ensuring a clean and professional finish.
Before painting began, the site supervisor conducted a detailed demonstration, showing the team how to apply paint evenly and avoid common issues such as “runs” or drips. Also, safety was a top priority. One of the supervisors gave a thorough briefing on proper ladder usage and other essential safety protocols to ensure that everyone could work confidently and responsibly.
Overall, the event was a successful collaboration between youth volunteers and a dedicated nonprofit organization, showing the power of community service in making a lasting, positive impact.
