Global Village

Global village is an adventure of a lifetime. GV gives you the chance to change the world while exploring some of the world’s most amazing destinations. Join a Global Village team today!

Every GV trip is different, but the mission is the same: to help build someone a new home, learn about a new culture and learn about poverty housing. Your time and effort on these trips help to eliminate homelessness and poverty worldwide.

What will you get out of it?

Every team member can expect to gain a unique set of experiences and memories. You will have the opportunity to learn about the local culture, language and social practices while learning new skills and gaining confidence.

Every trip itinerary has a balance of work, rest and free time. Most teams spend time sightseeing and participate in outdoor activities. These can range from safaris in National Parks to museum visits to kayaking down rapids. You also can gain friends of a lifetime during your time away.

Tacoma/Pierce County Habitat for Humanity tithes to Guatemala. For every house we build, we tithe 10 percent to Guatemala. Tacoma/Pierce County has recently sent groups to Guatemala, Romania and Macedonia. However these are not the only places that you can travel to make a difference. There are many other destinations on International’s website that you can choose from. For more information on Global Village or to sign up for a trip, visit their website.
