Build simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with the families who will live in them. Trips last a weekend to two weeks Enjoy free time, local tours and outdoor activities.

7. A hand up, not a hand out Volunteers work side by side with homeowners to build homes. Homeowners put in hundreds of hours of labor building their home, as well as homes for others.
