With over 30 years of experience, Bridges to Community has changed the lives of thousands of individuals with our service-learning volunteer trips to the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
Our unique model works with communities abroad to empower local leaders to work for change from within. Our volunteer teams support local programming and projects that make a real, concrete difference for families and communities alike.
Our in-person trips are a week-long opportunity to work and live in a community in the Dominican Republic while you participate in our integrated community programming.
Bridges to Community volunteer trips have two price components: the project cost and the volunteer trip fee. Both must be fundraised for and/or paid in full 6 weeks before the trip is scheduled to travel.
