Intercambio invites you to make a difference
 |
Intercambio has featured a construction project on every trip since our first venture in 1983. Each construction project is in response to a local need, identified by local leaders, and planned as a partnership effort. |  |
|
Over the years, Intercambio has helped build schools, medical clinics, a residential institute for Downes syndrom children, a nursing home, community buildings, churches, pre-schools, water systems, and a workshop for a local women's weaving cooperative. Intercambio uses indigenous building techniques and materials. We also have a local Mayan site foreman who is skilled in working with both volunteer groups and local villagers. |

 |
All this helps insure that when we work side-by-side with our local hosts, they're fully vested as partners in the process and are committed to seeing the project through to completion. |  |

Don't worry if you don't have any previous experience in this sort of work...there's plenty to be done and you can rest assured that there will definitely be a place for you to "fit in" and contribute. Of course, if you do have professional experience in construction or related work, that's great too... and we'll be sure to put your skills to good use as well. Most importantly, come prepared to work hard, get some good exercize, meet some great folks, and have a rewarding time helping others in the process. |
