More than 3500 Dominican children attend classes every year in schools that VISIONS teens and local partners have constructed over 33 years working in this most vibrant of countries. We lead a popular summer camp and shed inhibitions while living in the heart of a joyful neighborhood where kids and elders help us with Spanish skills and bring us in for games, meals, dance lessons, and more. Time connecting with the natural world finds us at a mountainous lake, the beach, and short hikes.
The “Visionary” teens who participate in VISIONS Dominican Republic experience more than one can possibly anticipate, with the richness and fullness that comes from being part of a community, in every sense of the world. Understand what it must be like to have inadequate educational resources, but help make a difference while building classrooms with local friends and partners who share your passion. You’ll also run a popular day camp for local children, and perhaps also help with animal welfare initiatives.
And it wouldn’t be a VISIONS program without time carved out for adventure and exploration, including to beaches, trails, an organic cacao farm to make chocolate, Latin dance lessons, baseball games, and more.
VISIONS programs offer the opportunity for powerful personal transformation and radical community building, which together serve as a starting point on a life path of deep meaning and purpose.
