Our Process

It’s hard after college to go from a ‘ready-made’ social circle of people in the same stage of life to living in a city on your own. I’d say the best part of PULSE is that it gives you a group of people who are going through similar things.

The best part of the PULSE experience is being able to transition into the professional world with other young adults going through the same experience.

It’s been amazing to have this new experience where I am going into new neighborhoods and they still feel like home. It’s a feeling of “you want to be here”. People walking down the street are nice to you, and it feels like a community wherever you go. I feel like myself here.

I work with a really awesome staff! They are great, talented, creative people who I know have my back. I also enjoy the opportunity to work with Northside kids and feel like I make an impact on their lives.

I also just really love the environment of Habitat for Humanity –everyone is really friendly and welcoming and open to new ideas. I’m having a fantastic time.

It has been wonderful to live in community. Even when we disagree with each other, it’s been really cool to be very respectful of each other, to act out of a deep caring for each other.

I love the flexibility of the PULSE experience.  I love the openness of the staff that are here to support us throughout the year. I also love the freedom to do whatever I’d like to do to get to know my community, neighborhood and self.

In living on the Northside and through self-exploration exercises, I have learned more about my weaknesses and how to address them

I’ve learned my place in the community and how to utilize my strengths and apply those to my house, my community, and the other cohort.

I’m learning how to adapt and build meaningful relationships with a wide variety of people.
