Come to Haiti ready to help out and leave inspired, ready to continue lifting kids towards brighter futures. You will work alongside a local organization, supporting them in their vision to improve their community and shape a better future for themselves and their children.
You will spend your time in Cap Haitien, a city of about 190,000 people on the north coast of Haiti.
High in the hills, you’ll experience breathtaking views as you stay in the Royal Residence—a hotel with 24-hour security that overlooks the city.
At Royal Residence, you’ll have the chance to experience their pool, dining area, and plenty of hangout spaces which all have spectacular views. Meals are carefully prepared and dietary restrictions can be accommodated if notified in advance.
You’ll work on projects in and around the community of Calvaire. We partner with a Haitian organization called ASEEDH (Association Envangelique Enfants Demunis Haitien) and together with volunteers, we’ve built a school for children in the community and a transition home for girls who have been rescued from domestic slavery.
Get a glimpse into Haiti’s rich beauty and difficult history. An excursion to the historic Citadelle will teach you about the struggles Haitian people have endured over time. You will get a chance to understand the true impact of your work.

After arriving in Cap Haitien, you’ll get settled before heading out on an awareness tour to Ecole L’Union and the Freedom Village. In the evening, we’ll host an orientation and you’ll have the chance to meet the staff who’ll be involved throughout the Build.
You’ll work alongside the community, contractors, and neighbours on projects at Ecole L’Union or the Freedom Village that will benefit children who are chasing their dreams. You will also have a chance to spend time with a family in the community while gaining an understanding that can change everything.
See the beauty of Cap Haitian from above. You’ll hike up to the Citadel Laferriére—a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site—to witness some of Haiti’s history up close and personal through this amazing structure. This iconic fortress was once the crown jewel of Haiti’s national defense.
Haiti is a beautiful place that you should experience for yourself. You’ll have the day off and will be able to choose between relaxation or adventure. Afterwards, we’ll take part in our final debriefing where we will explore ways we can continue to make a difference locally and globally.
It’s time to say “see you soon” as you pack up and begin travelling home.
