Sea Island Habitat for Humanity Gears Up for Weeklong Build with Huron Consulting Group

Sea Island Habitat for Humanity today announced that Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business consulting services, will participate in a weeklong build in Johns Island and James Island, S.C., June 15-19.

“The Sea Island chapter welcomes Huron back to Johns Island for their fourth consecutive weeklong build. We are thrilled to have partnered with Huron and appreciate their dedication to make a difference in the community building affordable homes for people with low income,” said Julia Hammer, communications and development director, Sea Island Habitat for Humanity.

Huron employees have participated in numerous Habitat for Humanity community service activities across the country since 2009. Huron provides time off and travel arrangements for employees who take part in the build. Habitat for Humanity is one of Huron’s civic partners, which are organizations the company supports through matching gifts, sponsorships and employee volunteerism.

“Habitat for Humanity not only provides people in need with a place to live, but gives our employees the opportunity to build a house from the ground up and work as a team to achieve one goal. We are thankful for our great relationship with Habitat for Humanity,” said Mark Hussey, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, Huron Consulting Group.

Huron’s ongoing commitment to the community brings employees together by helping others through its Huron Helping Hands program. In addition to the community service projects that Huron participates in throughout the year, the company also coordinates an annual Day of Service where employees receive the day off to participate in philanthropic service projects. As part of the 2015 Day of Service, Huron and its employees partnered with more than 60 different charitable and nonprofit organizations in more than 25 locales around the world.
