This is not just a trip. It is a shared experience that creates real impact.
Summer Trip Details
Join us for a week and dive into the community, culture, cuisine, and Caribbean beauty of the Dominican Republic!
Come and participate in a week-long trip (Saturday-Saturday) that will have a lifelong impact. You’ll support the development of a community by working on a needed project, such as construction of bathrooms, house repairs, or reforestation.
While you’re in the DR, you’ll live and work in the rural community that you’ll be helping. Lodging is a co-ed community center with indoor bathrooms and shower stalls. You’ll be provided 3 fresh meals a day, prepared by our team of local Dominican cooks.
Project activities include mixing cement, cutting and tying rebar, painting, and laying cinderblock. You’ll also participate in community exchanges, learn about Dominican culture, explore the local community and landscapes, and more!
Limited spots are available, contact us today to register!

About the Community
The climate is generally hot and sunny, with average daytime temperatures around 85°F (29°C). Due to its elevation and surrounding mountains, evenings tend to be cooler, especially after sunset. Rainfall is seasonal, resulting in lush, green landscapes during the rainy months and drier conditions at other times of the year.
San Juan is a predominantly rural province with limited infrastructure, simpler accommodations, and fewer commercial amenities. Visitors should be prepared for basic conditions, intermittent electricity, and limited internet access.
