Where purpose meets adventure.

Whether you’re an individual, a group, or a company, buildOn welcomes you to build a school with us on Trek.

Trek is a life-changing journey rooted in service. Participants fundraise individually or as a team, then travel to one of our partner countries to work side by side with community members to build a school. Along the way, you’ll immerse yourself in local culture and see the lasting impact of service and education in action.

Your Trek Begins Today

We’re here to answer questions, help you get started on your journey, and provide support every step of the way.

Let’s get started

Partner with friends, family, classmates, or colleagues—or fundraise on your own! Teams are welcome, but not required.

buildOn’s online fundraising tools are available to you to reach supporters, take online donations, and stay updated on your progress. Each buildOn school requires about $40,000 in funding.

Once you’ve reached your fundraising goal, it’s time to travel, serve, immerse, and transform. Hear what past participants have to say about their Trek experience!
