Extreme Makeover Home Edition is known for rebuilding a family's home and dreams.  Some families run nonprofit organizations that benefit teens in the community.  Here are a few of those families that have been showcased on Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

The Wagstaff Family

The February 21, 2010 Extreme Makeover Home Edition featured the Wagstaff who started the nonprofit music school Studio Percussion.  They were sent to the Rock N' Roll Hall Fame in Cleveland, OH.  They were treated to a surprise meet and greet with the members of the band KISS.  The family's home is not only livable, but ready for sweet music that the family will create together.

The Tripp Family

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition traveled to Prince George's County, MD - with celebrity volunteer Tyler Perry -- to tell Nikema, aka "Tripp," and Tamara Tripp that their small house, in need of major repairs they can't afford, will be rebuilt in seven days."

"Over three decades ago, Tripp's father ran a bus ministry for the Woodland Baptist Church, hoping to make his rough neighborhood a better place.  Now a generation later, Tripp and Tamara are continuing a family tradition of service and generosity.  About 40 kids each week and over 90 children on holidays board the bus for fun and safe activities that have ranged from bowling on a Friday night to flower arranging for Mother's Day."  Read more at TV Grapevine.

These and other families not only open their homes, they open their hearts to help teens in their community.  What do you do to help teens in your area?  What could you do to help teens in need?  If we all pitch in, we could make a difference in the lives of many teens around the USA and the world!
