Go, and come back changed.

It isn't a vacation. You'll work, you'll sweat, and you'll meet people who've been doing this long before we showed up. We go back to the same places on purpose.

Next info night

Why we go

We keep going back.

Every trip runs through a local partner who was already doing the work before we showed up. They set the priorities, we bring hands and funding. That's why our destination list is short and our relationships are long — nine years is a young partnership for us.

Teams are ten to sixteen people with two experienced leaders. Training starts eight weeks out and covers the work, the culture, and what you'll actually be doing each day. If the cost is the hard part, we'll help you fundraise — most people cover the whole trip that way.

I signed up to help build a school. I came home with fourteen friends and a completely different idea of what a week is worth.
