    I have been on several builds myself, including private trips that I put my own teams together for. I found they were all very rewarding experiences for everyone involved and I want other people to have that too.

    Great opportunity for youth

A Humanitarian Build is more than just a trip -it’s a life-changing experience that empowers young people to become global citizens. Through these builds, students contribute to creating safe, dignified housing for families in need, gaining valuable skills and a deeper sense of compassion and responsibility. But these experiences aren’t just transformative for the communities abroad -they change the lives of the youth who participate, fostering resilience, leadership, and a sense of purpose.


By donating to the Youth Scholarship Fund, you’re helping all youth - including Indigenous youth - get a big head start on their fundraising efforts for a Humanitarian Build in Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Each student raises funds to participate, but your support through a $500 bursary removes a significant barrier, allowing more students to join a Build and make a lasting difference.
