PRoTechos is a 501(c)(3) and Puerto Rico 1101.01 non-profit corporation founded with the dual mission of rebuilding damaged roofs in underserved communities throughout the island while providing residents with basic carpentry training, addressing both housing needs and the shortage of skilled construction workers in Puerto Rico.

We look to local grass-roots organizations that are best equipped to assess the urgency of the needs of the residents of their communities and identify those most at risk. Starting with the most urgent cases, PRoTechos rebuilds roofs with the help of volunteers, skilled carpenters and trainees, drawn from community residents who are willing and able to work in residential construction. We provide basic carpentry training in a "learn and earn" program. Trainees receive minimum wage for time spent learning and building, and they are expected to teach others and continue building in their community once their own training has been completed.
