Warmer, Safer, Drier

We’d love to host your team during Spring, Fall, and Winter/Christmas break, or during a time that fits your schedule. Just let us know when you’re available to serve with our home repair ministry in Macon and Lee counties! This is a great opportunity for campus ministries, youth groups, Sunday School classes, or for families. We can host teams of up to 65 people!

Learn as You Serve!

Tuskegee boasts a rich civil rights history with two national historic museums – Tuskegee Institute and Tuskegee Airmen. You’re also a short drive from Montgomery and not too far from Selma where you can dive in to the past and present of the Southern Freedom Movement. In April 2018, The Equal Justice Initiative opened a first-of-its-kind memorial to victims of lynching and a museum in downtown Montgomery. Selma has many civil and voting rights memorials too!  We are more than happy to make time for your team to explore the important history of Alabama and the civil rights movement as you serve with us.

When Can We Come?

Where Do We Serve?

Our year-round mission trip opportunities are hosted at our Tuskegee mission site. Your team will be serving families in Lee and Macon counties primarily through home repair. You can click here for more information about our Tuskegee mission site.

How Much Does it Cost?

Registration Fee

Your group pays a one-time registration fee of $50 to secure your dates of service. This fee is non-refundable unless your requested dates are already booked or if we are unable to provide agreeable dates of service. Registration for all dates is first-come, first-serve and your registration is not complete until your registration fee is received.

Per Person Costs: $35 per working day (covers construction materials and lodging costs)

These costs include your lodging and the purchase of materials for your mission projects. Meals and transportation to and from your work site are not included.

What Do We Need to Provide?

Food

Meals are not provided. However, your group will have access to kitchen facilities.

Transportation

Each of your team’s work crews will need to provide its own transportation to travel to and from its work site. You will need a vehicle for every 7 crew members.

Work Crews

Your group will be divided into work crews of 4-7 people. Youth groups must have a minimum of one (preferably two) adults per work crew. You will also need one construction knowledgeable person per crew. Each crew is responsible for providing their own transportation, water cooler, and first aid kit. We recommend you bring basic tools such as hammers, gloves, and cordless drills. Bringing as many tools as possible is encouraged.

Individual Needs

Here’s a packing list with a few things we’d recommend that all your volunteers bring along with them.
