Volunteering in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is in the Caribbean, between Cuba and Puerto Rico. I share Haiti and Hispaniola Island. It is one of the most diverse countries in the Caribbean, including incredible mountain landscapes, wonderful colonial period buildings, fertile agricultural landscapes, and the best beaches in the world. The lively culture of Dominica and the atmosphere of the island are recognized in the tourism industry, but many residents of the rural area of ​​the Dominican Republic are still living in poverty, children are living and choosing living resources I lack opportunities.

Outreach 360 is currently active in a small rural fishing village, Monte Cristy, in the remote northwestern part of the Dominican Republic. The town of Monte Cristi is a mysterious place. Most noteworthy is the slow beach town where many residents find work in local waters, collect salt from historic salt fields, work in nearby agriculture. Unlike the lively sightseeing spots of the large coastal resort of the Dominican Republic, Monte Cristy is far from the inaccessible road. It is this distance that increases its credibility and charm, revealing beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and a truly lively community of Dominican culture.

Monte Cristy's Outreach 360 service program focuses on children's education as a sustainable solution to rural poverty problems. As a volunteer, you will make the opportunity to change your life for disadvantaged children. Our basic course is to teach English at Outreach 360 Learning Center, local school, or Dare to Dream Learning Camp. Your participation will revitalize our students' future!

Volunteers at Outreach 360 heading for the Dominican Republic will deepen their cultural understanding of the country through events and short trips organized by Outreach 360. We recognize that an important part of service learning is to understand the culture and people you serve. That's why you can find a complete timetable to provide community services and educational activities for volunteers.

There are several volunteer opportunities in the Dominican Republic. Many organizations in the world provide long distance travel to people who want to work with local people in projects such as regional development, conservation, conservation and development of wildlife, scientific research and education programs I will. The Dominican Republic is usually a safe country (although this is not always the case). The major cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago experienced the growth of the rapidly growing middle class, but the construction industry has prosperous and reached a high international standard level, but the Dominican Republic is still the third It is a country of the world. Take commonsense precautionary measures:

Higher education in the Dominican Republic is regulated by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. Most universities in the Dominican Republic are private. Founded in 1538, Universidad Autónomade Santo Domingo is the oldest university in the Americas and the only public university in the Dominican Republic. However, there are 12 campuses throughout the country. Selfish expenses of Santo Domingo is much cheaper than that of a private university whose tuition is usually based on academic achievement. However, university education expenses in the Dominican Republic are usually relatively low. However, since this applies only to the citizens of the Dominican Republic, it is important to organize their citizenship before applying for foreigners, so it is not necessary to pay high fees to international students.
