Have you ever wanted to do something tangible that made a difference for those who have no voice or opportunity? Have you ever wanted to expand and challenge your global perspective? Have you ever wanted to learn more about how you can be a voice for those who have no voice? You can! Join us on a Hero Holiday!
We provide year-round global humanitarian opportunities in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Thailand and Haiti. In each location, we provide practical assistance to those living in extreme poverty. Activities may include building homes or schools, distributing supplies, providing food, mobile medical clinics and working with children at risk. You will never be the same!
Each Hero Holiday trip is a great balance between hard work, experiential learning, life-altering awareness, great memories, and a renewed passion to return home and affect change, and we would love to have you join us!

Today was our 2nd medical clinic and as far as we were concerned it was a great day! We started our day off at the registration table which was perfect for use since we got to meet all of the patients. It was an eye opening experience all around, but especially when we meet our […]

Last nights’ debriefing, unbeknownst to us, was an excellent preparation for today’s experience at the garbage dump. Talking about the sights, sounds and smells was one thing, but actually experiencing was something else. With anxious anticipation we loaded into the back of our open-aired truck, and bumped over the dirty and dusty road. No matter […]
Our days start at 9am with an open-aired, windblown truck ride to our work site where we’ve spent the last two days. What started as three skeleton buildings are transforming before our eyes into homes for our new friends. Each home is no bigger than 250 sq.ft., but surprisingly, the number of people […]
