"World Changers" is a project of the North American Mission Board, the domestic missions agency of the Southern Baptist Convention. Its goal is to serve across the country and spread God's love.
"We really want to serve God and do His work and show people God's work, because He loves us," said volunteer James Munsey.
More than 23,000 students are volunteering their time this week across the U.S. and the world -- adding up to nearly $17 million in free labor.

The teens work eight to nine hours a day and spend the nights at Granite Middle School with the hundreds of other youth volunteers from Florida, South Carolina, California, Wyoming, Arizona and more.
"I must have already made 50 friends," James said. "That's pretty sweet."
But what's even more sweet is that the Quimbys get a new roof built to last.
"It means better installation and that we won't have leaks in the house," Linda said.
And Nick and James have friendships that will last.
"It's good to invest in other people," Nick said.
