VOLUNTEER IN CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION
BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ABROAD
At CONSTRU CASA, we believe that building a home means building dignity, safety, and opportunity. Our construction volunteer program in Guatemala offers one of the most hands-on and high-impact experiences for those who want to make a real difference.
As a volunteer, you’ll be directly involved in the construction of safe, dignified homes for families in need. From digging foundations to the final roof, your work will have a real and visible impact on the lives of Guatemalan families.
Constru Casa’s construction program is led by our professional local foremen. They lead and teach volunteers how to build, cut, mix, paint, and install… how to truly help a community! Your volunteer work is demanding including excavation, painting, mixing cement, laying brick, plastering, and various other activities. You should come with gloves, work boots, safety glasses, and a desire to work hard, pitch in, and accomplish something big!
