Three great reasons
1 | Get involved in helping communities recover after a natural disaster. If you have spare time and a willingness to help, you can make a difference in bringing individuals and families return to their homes and classrooms after the disaster. |
2 | Immerse yourself in a multicultural and multigenerational community. Whether you’re in the dorm room or the board room, leadership begins with service. During your time as a volunteer, you will meet volunteers from all over the world with different cultures, ages and backgrounds! |
3 | Learn new skills. As a volunteer, you will work alongside your teammates, learning valuable skills, including construction. By the end of your time on program, you’ll be able to return home having learned something new. |
“I would highly recommend to anyone to take the plunge, don the purple shirt, and get your hands dirty with a great bunch of folks.”
