Building Homes & Careers: Streib SEC Supports Habitat for Humanity in St. Charles County

In early 2025, students from the Streib Education Center (SEC) took the lead in providing electrical services for a new Habitat for Humanity home in St. Charles County — a project built for a family of seven.


This wasn’t just an opportunity to practice fieldwork — it was a meaningful, hands-on experience that combined professional training with community impact.


“This project gave our students real-world responsibility and a chance to give back in a tangible, lasting way.”

From wire runs to fixture installs, SEC students worked side by side with Habitat staff, volunteers, and tradespeople to bring power and comfort to a future home — all while applying the core values that define the Streib way: innovation, excellence, and teamwork.
