A Week of Service

Bahamas Methodist Habitat offers week long, short term mission trips to groups interested in serving in The Bahamas.

Volunteers serve on home repair projects in settlements throughout the island where they are scheduled. Projects are supervised by locally hired site leaders who can teach volunteers some of the basics of work onsite and ensure local codes are followed.

​Projects may include roofing, tiling, painting, cement block and pouring, installing doors and windows, and hanging drywall.
The Volunteer Fee for a week of service with BMH is $800/person. This fee includes housing, food, tools, staff support, transportation, and a BMH t-shirt. It does not include airfare/travel expenses to your island of service or one meal on Excursion Day.

Who can serve?

 We welcome teams of youth, college students, and adults with a heart for service. Youth must be at least 12 years of age unless accompanied by a parent or designated guardian.

At any of our facilities, if your team does not fill the space close to capacity, then it is possible that multiple teams may serve in the same week and share meals and common space together. Usually teams wills serve on a work site with members of their same group.

At the end of the work day, teams are able to enjoy some time at Eleuthera's beautiful beaches. On their last full day in Eleuthera, teams have the opportunity to experience some of the island's attractions.
