Joe Annoreno

Chicago, IL

Passionate About:

I am passionate about the odd combo of photography and mathematics. I currently am tutoring 8th grade students from the South Side of Chicago Algebra through the program, GEAR UP. Also, I am a mentor to a 7th grade student from a low end community to help him develop healthy relationships with teachers, learn non-violent stress relief coping skills, and to advocate in the academic, social and family environment. It would be incredible to be able to help others from another country and to construct buildings that will benefit the Honduran community for years to come.

Volunteer Activity Message

Architecture Brigades volunteers from DePaul will spend 7 days doing construction on large projects, such as schools and health centers, that will provide health and education infrastructure to benefit entire communities in rural Honduras. On the brigade, students will learn about the necessity of the project, the justifications for the structure's design, and a variety of local construction techniques. Depending on what point during the construction process they make their brigade, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of construction processes, from foundation work to wood framing to detailing, and everything in between. Volunteers do not need prior building expertise for the brigade, as they will be working alongside skilled masons who will guide students on proper building practices and safety precautions during building, while also educating volunteers of the use of local materials. In addition to the construction aspects of the brigade, volunteers will be given the chance to create and host an interactive education lesson for members of the local community. The ages and demographics of the audience may vary, and the education topics cover basic concepts of architecture and design. Combining the efforts of both the construction and educational aspects of the brigade, by the end of the week volunteers on the DePaul Architecture Brigade will be able to see the impact have made in the community!
