Love God. Love People.
HXP takes teens ages 14–19 — and the parents, grandparents, and leaders who serve alongside them — on two-week humanitarian expeditions around the world. Every trip is carried by a world-class team — full-time staff who spend the year vetting every project, and Trip Leaders chosen through one of the most selective processes anywhere. And we make you a promise: the hardest and best summer of your life. Phones off. Real, sweaty work on projects that outlast you. And the most positive peer group you've ever been part of — the kind of friends you keep forever. Since 1999, more than 48,000 Builders have served in 40 countries and come home changed, because there will be miracles.™
