Helping build communities abroad by connecting travelers with those in need. Offering volunteer construction trips around the world.
Description
Travel ScholarshipOur mission is to build and repair communities across the world through socially responsible construction volunteering. We organize volunteer trips on construction projects such as homes, schools, and disaster relief, while also helping our volunteers experience the unique culture of a different country. Our two founders received their degrees in architecture, and therefore have decided to host one architecture student or recent graduate to travel internationally through one of their programs.

- Be a current student studying architecture, civil engineering, interior design or related field (undergraduate or graduate)
- Have graduated with a degree in architecture, civil engineering, interior design or related field within the last 5 years
How to Apply
Applicants will be asked to provide a 300-600 word statement that describes their position on architecture, volunteering, and international travel. Consider the following:
- Do you feel travel is essential for the growth of someone in your field?
- Do you feel there should be more or less volunteering in the architecture/construction industry?
- How has travel shaped you as a designer?
