The Green Building Academy (GBA) is Long Way Home’s unique 4-week intensive course designed for individuals who wish to dive deep into green-building and design topics, as taught by expert instructors.

GBA students will be learning, building, and living alongside staff and interns from all over the world, as well as our experienced local team. Students will live in a green-designed home and will help keep a zero-waste household, an experience that can create life-changing habits.

The program takes place in March and July each year at our site in San Juan Comalapa, a rural town in Guatemala’s Highlands.Participants who join the Academy will contribute to our efforts to make healthy and resilient housing accessible to low-resourced and climate-stressed communities.
