Construction Expeditions

Are you the kind of person who likes to get "hands on" in making a difference in the lives of people? Then a World Accord Construction Expedition may be for you!

Construction Expeditions are groups of volunteers who pay their own way to go to places like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador and help build local communities by constructing homes, roads, project buildings or farming facilties. Over the last 10 years World Accord has run more than 20 Construction Expeditions, enabling more than 300 people to see firsthand the difference that World Accord and its partners have made in their communities.
