Architecture for Humanity runs a small volunteer outfit from their office in Pétionville, Port-au-Prince. Currently, volunteer needs on the ground are for highly skilled builders, architects and architectural designers–professionals with at least three years experience in a relevant field–to work on a variety of assignments. As we are in different project stages for several permanent schools, volunteers can expect to assist on anything from site surveys and documentation to CAD drafting to research, assisting meetings and impromptu construction projects. Flexibility, patience and good humor are needed for this kind of work.
Our scope of work and current projects are discussed on the Haiti Reconstruction page. Interested parties should review our work along with the Haiti Volunteer overview page before applying to volunteer (application available on the Overview page). Our Maison presently accommodates five to eight dedicated Architecture for Humanity volunteers–space is limited. Please be patient in receiving confirmation that your application has been submitted.
Presently volunteers should be able to commit 2-6 months to working with us on the ground. Volunteer applicants should expect to apply 3 months before their intended travel dates to better ensure consideration for these dates.
