Volunteer Programs in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

We are looking for dynamic, adventurous volunteers to help deliver water in the Southern DR region! This is a great opportunity to experience what the culture has to offer while giving back to local communities. We have committed to the delivery of 2000 gallons of free water for the next 12 months and are looking for assistance to ensure it goes as needed. Your journey starts with taking one of our ATVs or motor scooters into the mountains to deliver clean water and to offer immediate food assistance (optional). If interested, you also have the opportunity to offer eye exams in a small community or be a part of a restoration project for a deserving family. Your trip ends with a relaxation day at our pool or an adventure day of hiking, parasailing, or white water rafting near the mountains. This project is based in Baní, in the southern Dominican Republic. It is located in Peravia Valley, 65 kilometers away from Santo Domingo and 5 kilometers away from the south coast of the Caribbean Sea. Founded in 2018, The 4North Project is a 501(c)(3) organization that solves humanitarian issues with a focus on travel, volunteering, and unique experiences. Get in touch to learn more!

Comunidad Connect is a non-profit organization facilitating community development through humanitarian year-round programs, service learning, and cultural exchange. We connect people who want to make the world a better place with tangible opportunities to do so with local communities who need the support. Together, we increase our capacity to impact the lives of others. Our Cultural Connections program takes volunteers like you to the Dominican Republic to explore and support remote communities via responsible tourism, community service, and cultural immersion. Not far from the pristine beaches and colonial cities of the Dominican Republic, lush rolling hills and the tropical climate invite visitors to picturesque hikes, abundant waterfalls, and coffee plantations. As beautiful as they are, many rural communities struggle to cover basic needs like housing, healthcare, and sanitation. While you are there and long after, you will be able to support the people who need it most. Traveling with Comunidad Connect combines tourism with community service, allowing volunteers to have fun while making a difference in the lives of others.
