Workcamps are weeklong home-repair projects involving volunteers from church youth groups recruited by Group Workcamps Foundation. At each Workcamp, hundreds of teenagers and adult sponsors come to a community like yours for a full week, and spend five days repairing homes for elderly, low-income, and disabled residents.

At an average Workcamp, about 400 participants commit more than 12,000 hours of free labor to the community–time that is worth more than $65,000. Participants come from churches of many denominations across the country to work. The volunteers do not come to evangelize; rather, they come to grow in their faith through meaningful service to others.
