Build a School

Travel. Build. Transform.

Whether you’re an individual, a group, or a company, buildOn welcomes you to build a school with us! To embark on this life-changing journey we call Trek, you’ll first need to fundraise on your own or form a team. Once your goal has been met, you’ll travel to one of our partner countries, work side-by-side with community members to construct a school, immerse in the local culture, and see the profound impact of service and education first-hand.

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 $35,000 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!
