Build a better world.
Engaging teenagers in work projects that improve local and global communities, facilitate personal growth and cultural exchange and ignite a lifelong passion for volunteerism.
Community service is at the heart of the Builders Beyond Borders (B3) program. With a focus on personal development through community service, we work side by side with community partners both locally in Connecticut and in Latin America.
Students volunteer on local projects scheduled throughout the year. By volunteering on our local projects, students develop a relationship with their team and address issues concerning our neighborhoods.
During February, March or April school breaks, B3 teams travel to Latin America to work with a community in need. Teams live and work alongside their host community to build sustainable facilities that address the needs of the community.
