The Haiti Volunteer Adventure With HavServe: COMMUNITY CENTER LET’S BUILD IT TOGETHER

Welcome to Team HavServe! Construction volunteer work may entail mixing concrete, assisting in building demolition, carrying bricks and other materials around job sites, assembling rebar (which reinforces and strengthens concrete), digging the foundations for structures, painting, or preparing materials for foremen, such as sifting sand and wetting bricks for construction, among others.

These trips are designed for first-time travelers and those who do not have a specific skill set they want to employ in Haiti, but want to be a part of HavServe’s mission to make lasting differences in Haiti. This trip will allow travelers to see the HavServe’s direct impact and what we have accomplished over the past 8 years, along with our vision for the future of the communities we serve in rural Haiti. Our participants will volunteer and interact with the Haitian community in a welcoming, vibrant environment while helping to serve children and youth in our programs.

When you’re not busy volunteering, you can catch a glimpse of the amazing beauty of rural Haiti while making local friends and having fun by the beach!
