What's Included

Overview

The Monterey Bay Academy (CA) 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.

Monterey Bay Academy (MBA) is located 15 miles south of Santa Cruz, California, in the small community of La Selva Beach. The boarding school sits on 379 coastal acres, which include about three fourths of a mile of private beach. The campus is home to beautifully kept lawns, flower beds, and Monterey pine and coastal cypress trees that frame amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. Once a U.S. military base, this school has now been in operation for more than 60 years and has served as a place of learning and spiritual growth for more than 8,000 students.

Volunteers on this project will help to paint and re-roof the school’s maintenance buildings, landscape and help with other projects around the campus.

Please consider joining us for this project!
