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.”

Grant Clark, Hurricane Harvey recovery volunteer.
