Overview

The Walla Walla University (WA) Project is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.

Walla Walla University was founded in 1892 and currently serves more than 1,400 students.

Maranatha volunteers will transform a large, centrally-located building on campus into “Neighbor Space.” This vibrant, outward-facing hub will house the Center for Humanitarian Engagement, a Tool Library, and a variety of student-led initiatives aimed at serving the broader Walla Walla community. Volunteers on this project will work on various tasks like window replacement, stucco repair, and exterior painting.

We hope you can join us!
