What Makes Our Volunteers So Great
OUR VOLUNTEERS are made up of all age groups, skill levels, and backgrounds who come together to champion the cause of fighting illiteracy. They are a passionate group of people with a strong desire to serve our communities in need.
TO DATE our volunteers have helped construct and install 10 school libraries, which has served over 52,000 students in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Whether you are a multi-generational family group, a high school youth group, or a group of corporate employees, we would love to have you serve with us.
VOLUNTEERS WILL JOIN AN UPCOMING TRIP AND TAKE PART IN…
Construction
We are committed to constructing libraries of excellence with skilled carpenters who have decades of experience to manage the daily work schedule and quality control. No prior building experience is necessary to work on a team.
Training
Volunteers will be trained and take part in our in-person trainings for the participating attendees at designated schools. We have a training manual and professional educators to lead and guide our volunteer teams.

- Each trip is led by an experienced team member who will guide the team throughout the week.
