Build a School
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.

What Trek Volunteers Are Saying
“Trek was by far the most impactful experience I’ve ever been a part of. Seeing the change you can make, while being alongside incredible communities, people, and volunteers, was nothing short of life-changing.”
“I am also a firm believer that seeing / experiencing other cultures and ways of life helps develop empathy and a better intercultural understanding between communities and peoples, and going on trek helped further my own growth and that of my students.”
“I learned that female empowerment is so vital, and it is especially important to uplift females everywhere, even when it’s accustomed not to.”
“I would definitely recommend the Trek experience to others. The Trek experience is all-encompassing: travel, service with a community, living with a village family, cultural activities, and nightly reflections. It beautifully combines the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual exertion that one needs to personally up-level in almost every way.”
