Justin Frigerio

Justin first built a house for Project Mexico when he was fourteen. The experience moved him; the families' gratitude for their new homes, the refreshing simplicity of third-world living, and the tight Orthodox community all drew him to return year after year as a volunteer, and then as a summer intern.

On some of his trips to Mexico, Justin started finding opportunities to visit families he had previously built for. More often than not, everything had changed. Families who were previously on the brink of starvation could now be seen comfortably watching television as a family. Seeing this, Justin started to want a more serious commitment to Project Mexico - these houses made a real difference.

A few years later, when his plans for a Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering miraculously fell through, he found himself in the perfect position to finally move to Mexico full-time. He is now serving as the Work Trip Coordinator: overseeing volunteers, interns, family selection, and home construction. During the offseason, he visits families in their new homes and plays his heart out on his piano.
