A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Dominican Republic
Locations
Santiago was originally named, “Santiago de los Treinta Caballeros,” or Saint of the 30 Gentlemen, and is the second largest city in the Dominican Republic. It is known as the “heart city” because of its fertile surroundings and central location. It is a thriving metropolis surrounded by cocoa, tobacco, coffee, and rum production. Individuals who volunteer in Santiago can visit farms and museums and learn about the area’s various trades.
Santo Domingo, the nation’s capital city, was founded in 1496 and is filled with examples of baroque architecture and the city’s Colonial Zone is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is home to a lot of firsts for the Americas. The first castle, monastery, and cathedral were built in Santo Domingo, and it is the first European settlement. Volunteering in Santo Domingo provides volunteers with not only meaningful placements but also interesting sites to see and things to do. This southern coastal city even has a dance club inside an underground cave!
A handful of Dominican Republic volunteer programs are available in other cities and rural areas of the country.
