This beachside program in the Dominican Republic is designed for students who want their summer to feel both meaningful and unforgettable. Over eight days, you’ll live and travel along the country’s stunning coasts and vibrant towns while working with local communities on health, wellness, and small-scale development projects. You won’t just volunteer, you’ll collaborate with families, kids, and community leaders, building real connections and learning what daily life is like far beyond the tourist beaches. Between service days, the island comes alive through snorkeling in warm Caribbean waters, relaxing on golden sand, and exploring the colorful streets of Santo Domingo, the oldest European city in the Americas. Every part of the experience is designed to balance impact and adventure, giving you space to grow, try new things, and feel proud of what you contributed. You’ll return home with new friends and a deeper understanding of the world.

Embark on an unforgettable six-week adventure that delves into the Caribbean's vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and rich history. This program is designed for young travelers (17-22) seeking a unique blend of cultural immersion, community engagement, and thrilling outdoor experiences. Uncover Santo Domingo's rich past, connect with local communities by contributing to rebuilding communities impacted by natural disasters, and immerse yourself in Dominican culture by experiencing the warmth and hospitality of local families through homestays. Hike through lush trails, encounter diverse flora and fauna, and witness the breathtaking waterfalls cascading through the El Yunque Rainforest. Beyond sightseeing and exploration, this program offers the opportunity to develop valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication. Immerse yourself in local customs and traditions to gain a deeper cultural understanding. Step outside your comfort zone to experience personal growth and develop a sense of independence. Plus, build lifelong friendships with like-minded people from around the world.

Join the family of over 4,100 volunteers that have traveled abroad with BLUE Missions to serve on a water or sanitation project. You’ll live in a rural community for 7 days working, learning, and living in the moment. Whether you are in high school, college, or an adult we have a service trip for you. Our projects wouldn’t be possible without volunteers like you! During the trip, we'll complete the construction of a water or sanitation project. The communities we work in either lack access to running water safe for drinking or lack of access to hygienic bathrooms. In the water project, our team will construct a water system, in which a freshwater source will be connected via gravity-driven aqueduct to the homes of every family. In the sanitation project, families in need of bathrooms will have ventilated improved pit latrines built adjacent to their homes. Prepare to get your hands dirty carrying pipe, digging trenches, mixing cement, and building latrines. You'll work alongside locals, get to know their stories, and accomplish together a major infrastructure milestone for their community.
