ALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTSWhat does construction volunteering involve?
You will ususally work under the guidence of skilled local workers and assist in the building of new schools, libraries, playgrounds, community buildings and more. This can involve laying tiles, working cement, landscaping, building structures or sanding and painting walls.

Your efforts on our construction volunteering programs will make a lasting difference to people in need.
