HOMES
Paying it Forward.
Rehabilitating critical spaces — transforming deteriorating public schools into bright, safe learning environments through hands-on volunteer renovation projects.
Overview
HOMES was originally conceived as a program to rehabilitate the private homes of underprivileged families across Jordan. After several successful cycles, the program evolved its focus toward public schools — recognizing that renovating a single school creates a ripple effect of positive impact for hundreds of students, teachers, and the broader community.
Each year, a team of 25 carefully selected volunteers is deployed for up to 10 days to completely renovate a small public school, transforming it from the inside out — painting classrooms, upgrading facilities, building play areas, and installing educational resources. The project also integrates daily soft skills and team-building activities for the volunteers themselves.
Goals & Objectives
Three pillars that drive the HOMES mission — transforming spaces, shaping character, and strengthening communities.
How It Works
From selection to handover — the three phases of a HOMES renovation cycle. Watch the school being built as you scroll.
The Selection
Each cycle begins with an open call that attracts approximately 200 applicants. Through a competitive screening process, 25 volunteers aged 18–24 are carefully selected based on their motivation, physical readiness, and commitment to community service. The target school is a small public institution serving a maximum of 180 students in a rural or underserved Jordanian community.
The Renovation
Volunteers are hosted near the chosen school for a maximum of 10 days. During this intensive period, the team works collaboratively to completely renovate the school — painting walls, repairing infrastructure, upgrading sanitation facilities, building playgrounds, and installing educational resources. All work is done hands-on by the volunteers themselves.
Integration & Growth
Beyond the physical renovation, each day includes structured soft skills and team-building workshops for the volunteers. Additionally, 2 days are dedicated to exploring the local history, visiting nearby heritage sites, and interacting with community members — deepening the volunteers' understanding of the region they serve and creating lasting bonds between urban youth and rural communities.
