Mexico is located between the U.S. and Central America and has a diverse landscape of mountains, deserts and jungles. Our Volunteer Build teams build homes for the poor and homeless in the arid colonies of southern Tijuana, as well as feeding the homeless and visiting those forgotten in prison.
Contact us to organise your own private group of 15 volunteers where we spend 3 days building a home for a family in need in the colonias of Tijuana, as well as participating in community outreach activities such as delivering personal care packs to a local prison, feeding the homeless, or volunteering at a local school.At the end of the trip, team members have the option to extender their stay (at their own cost) to fly to Cabo San Lucas or Cancun for some post build R&R and/or to assist another organisation with community outreach (eg food distribution, maintenance, beach cleanups etc).
