Orphanage Outreach has been providing opportunities to orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged children in the Dominican Republic since 1994. Our goal is to "Release the Hero Within" those children, to help them develop their skills and talents. We accomplish this through our volunteer and donor programs.
Volunteers are the heart of Orphanage Outreach. Since 1994, over 7000 volunteers have joined us in the Dominican Republic, including 1250 in 2008 alone. In addition to the orphanages we work with, we have also "adopted" the local communities. Our volunteers teach English in local schools and the Orphanage Outreach English Institute, provide medical and dental care, teach public health classes, teach literacy, provide summer camps, and more. High School teams, college teams, church teams, families, and individuals are invited to join us in the Dominican Republic. Grade school classrooms are invited to participate in our "Book the Future" program, and middle school classrooms are invited to join our "Serve and Learn" virtual service trip. Sign up today!

If volunteers are the heart of Orphanage Outreach, then donors are our lifeblood. Orphanage Outreach is more than a service travel program. We have real responsibilities, and our donors make it possible. We are currently funding the basic necessities and educational needs at two orphanages, the college education of four former orphanage children, and the Orphanage Outreach English Institute for 5th-8th graders. Project funds include construction projects and "Project Green" - energy, food, and water self-sufficiency projects. Become a monthly or annual sponsor today!
