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!

Between yesterday and today, the houses have been pieced together rapidly. Lots of hard work, painting and sawing have brought the group two standing houses. Everyone is experimenting with different ways to help out; whether it be playing with the kids, roofing or […]
Hola! We have arrived safe and sound, with a few minor speed bumps.
Friday started out with an all too familiar ferry ride to Vancouver followed by an unfamiliar ride down to the border crossing and then on to Seattle. From SeaTac we endured a three hour long flight, no movies mind you, to San Diego. […]

The build at Adoffo Lopez Mateos is now completed! The last couple days were very busy for our team. Thursday we put the roof panels on, and then the asphalt roofing. This took awhile because of the sizing on the panels needed to be adjusted but together under Randy, Brett, and Andrew’s […]

Three days ago we arrived at this beautiful area called Vicente Guerrero. As you can see in the picture, we have made great progress since we’ve arrived here. We finished assembling the walls, raising the roof and painting the bathrooms.
Our first impression of being here is that of humbleness. This experience really puts our […]
They have arrived! It is exciting that this university group, who we prepared for last May, has finally arrived. Their arrival was a little delayed due to the swine flu ordeal last Spring.
