OPEN ENROLLMENT
We’re excited to invite your family to be a part of our incredible journey! Since 2005, we’ve organized more than 100 family trips to beautiful Puerto Penasco, where we’ve had the privilege of building new homes, roofing, painting, and repairing existing ones. We've also built schools and medical clinics to support the community. Now, we’re looking for passionate families, like yours, to serve alongside our families! Together, we can create lasting change and positively impact lives. Whether you’re skilled in construction or simply want to lend a helping hand, there’s a place for your family on our team. We would love for your family to join us in this rewarding experience and make a difference together!
