Description: The Dominican, though beautiful, is an impoverished land whose people are in need of your help. Volunteers can work in a clinic, school, nursing home, orphanage, or sports or drama program. They can even spend some time helping to build orphanages, clinics or even refurbish baseball facilities. This program can be customized to fit the volunteers' skills & interests. Available for groups of 10+.

Highlights:
* Specialized Program: Medical
The goal of this program is to provide dental/medical care to the poor & needy in remote communities who do not have access to trained professionals through the dental/medical clinic located in Juan Dolio. Anyone with training as a physician, dentist, nurse, hygienist, dental or medical assistant, or pharmacist is desperately needed.

* Specialized Program: Sports
Our staff of college coaches, All-American athletes, professional players, Hall-of-Fame coaches, & major league players works with your group to change the lives of those less fortunate. Choose from basketball to soccer, volleyball to baseball, & everything in between.
