 GLOBAL VILLAGE PROGRAM

Global Village trips take place around the world and can be a life changing experience. It’s an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of development issues, to learn more about another culture and about yourself. You will be more than a tourist as you are welcomed into the community by your hosts and introduced to the local culture as a guest. You will work together, share stories, and make friends. For more information, visit Global Village Canada .


 INFORMATION SESSIONS 

Twice a month we hold information sessions to inform potential volunteers as to how, when and where they can get involved and provide a brief history of Habitat for Humanity. Sign up online to reserve a spot.

"I found Habitat Toronto is a very friendly organization for low income families. No interest, no down payment, training for home ownership, the best thing is you can own a house even if you are on a low income.

We thank God and thank the staff of Habitat for Humanity Toronto who give us this opportunity. It's our dream; it's the goal of our life."
