2018 Hurricane Florence Response: Volunteer Opportunity in North Carolina, USA
General Construction Volunteers will travel to North Carolina for one week (from Sunday to Sunday) to assist in rebuilding homes for families devastated by Hurricane Florence. Volunteers from anywhere in the USA are welcome to join.
We need volunteers of all skill levels, with a preference for framers, roofers, drywallers, and those with finish carpentry experience.
Our partner organization will provide meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner) for $100 for the week.
This is a “REAL” construction site- Be prepared to work hard and get dirty!
Participation fee: $100

One-Day Home Build Project:
Tijuana, Mexico
Join a construction team and build an entire house in one day for a family in need in Tijuana. Everyone is welcome - no construction experience is required.
Volunteers must be able to commit to the entire day. The day starts at 6:30 am meeting at Otay Mesa Border Crossing, and depending on the border wait time, returning at approximately 6:30 pm.
Volunteers receive direction and support from International Relief Teams staff, Volunteer Team Lead, and Volunteer Skilled Supervisors throughout the day. General construction tasks on the build day will include framing, roof construction, painting, and installation of household amenities such as windows and doors.
Participation fee: $50
Please Note: a passport is required.
This will be a day to remember! In just one day, you will provide a family previously living in a makeshift shelter with their first real home. You will help change their lives!
