Disaster Relief and Rebuilding - Puerto Rico
January 11 - 17, 2026
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Community Resilience Estimates (2023), 82.4% of Puerto Rico’s population faces social vulnerability to external stressors or disasters, compared to the national average of 65.1%. Despite this, the adaptive, knowledgeable, and community-centered approach of local leaders on the island has shaped remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Team members on this trip will learn how these efforts create sustainable and equitable change for all residents, as well as ways to carry these lessons forward in their home communities.
