Short Term Projects

SoapBox is known for the quality of its Short-Term Projects, which serve some of the poorest countries in the world. Each year we give people the opportunity to give of themselves on one of these projects and every year, not only are the lives of those people who live at the project locations changed but the lives of the participants are also.

In 2010, we are also returning to many of the projects that we have worked with in previous years where we know we are needed. A variety of 2 and 3-week projects means that there is something to suit everyone. You can even combine some projects to make 5-week projects.

If you are age between 16-75*, why not consider applying for one these life changing projects and you too can "make a difference."
