We help educational institutions fulfill their Community Action Service programs, or other relevant education modules, through high quality education and volunteer initiatives. Our Global Village volunteer program means that students will work with local volunteers and future homeowners to help them build their home. The work is conducted under the supervision of skilled workmen and project managers. Students can join even if they have no prior experience in building, construction or other volunteer work. Benefits of volunteering for students Many students describe their volunteer experience as transformational or eye-opening. They finish the volunteer trip with a deeper knowledge and understanding for other cultures, countries and the effects of housing poverty. Besides plenty of time to relax and creating unforgettable memories with the teammates and local community, please understand that volunteering requires commitment and hard work to achieve our goals.
