Dominican Republic

Community, Culture & Sustainability

Experience the Dominican Republic beyond the traditional tourist experience through community, culture and hands-on learning.

From sustainability and food security initiatives with Cabarete Sostenible to education and community development with Project Esperanza in Puerto Plata, students learn alongside local organizations working to strengthen their communities.

Programs can be customized for school groups, sustainability councils, service organizations, Spanish classes and athletic teams.

Why the Dominican Republic?

Through community-based projects and interaction with local residents, students gain a deeper understanding of food security, cultural heritage, responsible service and the ways local organizations are developing long-term solutions within their communities.

Why Students Remember the
Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic offers students far more than an opportunity to visit another country.

Students experience the connection between culture, community and sustainability while learning from people working to create positive change.

These experiences encourage curiosity, build confidence and help students recognize how their own interests and abilities can contribute to communities at home and abroad.
