Global Health in the Dominican Republic
We work with local non-profits to better understand the needs of each community and then focus projects on those issues. Themes include:
- Health and Sanitation
- Sustainable Community Development
- Food Security
DAY 1: ARRIVE IN SANTO DOMINGO

- In the morning, begin your service project supporting local health initiatives.
- Spend the afternoon immersed in cultural activities.
- In the evening, reflect, discuss events as a group, and draw connections between the day’s work and relevant global issues.
DAY 7: TROPICAL BEACH
