Volunteers are greatly needed to work with the underprivileged children of the Dominican Republic. Spend time accompanying them in their classrooms or after school activities; teach English; provide homework assistance; and coach sports and interactive games. The children treasure the one to one attention our volunteers provide.

The Dominican Republic, West Indies, is located on the eastern two thirds of the island of Hispaniola. Its capital and largest city is Santo Domingo. The country suffers from marked income inequality; the poorest half of the population receives less than one-fifth of GNP, while the richest 10% enjoys nearly 40% of national income.

The people of the Dominican Republic are surely some of the friendliest people in the Caribbean. This country hosts a multi-racial and multi-cultural society of over eight and a half million people, with three quarters of mixed origin and the other quarter of either European or African descent.
