By forming partnerships with local organizations, we provide the structure, guidance, and support that communities need to build and repair homes for the impoverished among them. The center was started in spring 2005. A Fuller Center home is not a hand out, but a hand up. By working alongside volunteers and repaying construction costs on terms they can handle, homeowners are able to regain a sense of basic human dignity.

 

Volunteer as a Global Builder

The Fuller Center’s Global Builders get to see the real world off the beaten path, immersing themselves in different cultures for 1-2 weeks and truly getting to know people from different lands — all while making a difference in their lives by helping families build safe, decent homes.

You can join a team of soon-to-be friends or bring your own group — either way, it’s a mission trip of building homes and lives that will change your life, too. Click one of the buttons below to get started or keep scrolling down to learn more!

 

Why Global Builders?

  1. Affordable – it’s about people. Beyond building homes, our goal is to engage people. Trips are open to skilled and unskilled, young and old. Costs are kept low so trips are as accessible as possible. You can even use our fundraising pages to cover your entire trip fee!
  2. Quality of experience - we’ve helped over 300 teams and 4,000 volunteers travel the world, where they interact in the community and work directly with partner families. Our best proof that it works? Over 80% of our groups return for future trips.
  3. Sustainable impact - the community leads; we support. A dry, healthy home has been proven to improve education and preventative health care, which will change lives for generations. Each trip is also designed to create local jobs and support the local economy.
  4. It’s a beautiful world - we provide personalized attention to help each team get the experience it’s seeking. Each Team Leader has the opportunity to include certain R&R opportunities that explore fascinating cultures and God’s beautiful earth.
  5. This trip will bless you - discover meaning in life, grow closer to God, build team spirit, and make a difference in the world. Change the world while changing yourself!
