Volunteer

We’re not going to lie. This is hard work. Emotionally, physically and mentally, you’ll help more than just the underserved communities we deploy to. You may even help yourself. We operate in an austere environment, meaning that there is nothing. No water, no power, no heat, no air conditioning. You’ll get dirty. In many cases, the only structure around will be the pop up tent we set up for shelter. However, volunteering is rewarding and challenging. You’ll experience the best of humanity during the worst time in a humans life.

We offer 3 Volunteer Tier Levels:
