We're dedicated to providing the lowest price on the market.

8 days

Dominican Republic – Estimated 15 Service Hours

Familiarize yourself with island life in the Dominican Republic through hands-on service projects and authentic interactions with locals. Every day your students build their confidence in Spanish through morning language lessons and conversations with people from the area. As they work together with locals on a series of small community-based service projects, your students will soon be immersed in the culture, expanding their fluency, and experiencing life as the Dominicans do. And, they’ll return home with a better understanding of what meaningful service means in an interconnected world.
