College ProgramsEach year hundreds of college students make a tremendous impact in the lives of many children! We invite all majors and minors to get involved."This summer's trip was my third visit to Esperanza; each time has been more meaningful than the last, and each time it gets harder and harder to leave. To say that this experience has changed my life is a gross understatement, for the boys of the Good Samaritan Orphanage have become a part of me. They have taught me so much more than I could ever hope to give them in return."

Christian MissionsOrphanage Outreach invites you to join us for a short term mission trip to the Dominican Republic. We have many opportunities to work with the churches and communities of the northwestern part of the Dominican Republic. You are invited to join us any week of the year. Individuals, couples, families, and church teams are invited to join us."It was an amazing cultural experience. I came expecting to serve and felt so much love poured back on me. I would do it again anytime."

Health Corps ProfessionalsOrphanage Outreach is an American non-profit organization that has been working in the northwest part of the Dominican Republic since 1994. Over 8000 international volunteers have joined us since 1994, with the majority of focus being on education. Originally focused solely on the local orphanages, thanks to volunteer growth the focus has expanded to include additional needs in the community. One area of true need is health education and treatment."I am the advisor for SOSH (Students in Optometric Service to Humanity) out of the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Optometry. For each of the past 8 years a group consisting of myself and about 20 students has traveled outside the US during our spring break to provide eye care and eye wear to people in need. Our trip to Monte Cristi in March 2004 exceeded all of our expectations. With regard to accommodations and logistics, this has become the trip against which all others are and will be measured. It is truly a turn-key mission operation. Fantastic job! We will be here again."

Familiy VolunteeringAn Orphanage Outreach trip is a great experience to share with your family. We encourage families to join us any week of the year to make a big impact in the lives of many children."There's no comparison between this shared experience and any of the manufactured pleasures that come with privilege and means. It was hard but it was fun, it required effort but repaid it and more. It was less indulgent than the usual spring break, yet it refreshed and opened us more than a pleasure trip."

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"It was heartwarming and eye opening to see how happy people can be in the face of so much difficulty. I'm so glad I had a chance to give to these truly inspiring kids. The smiles on their faces say it all!"
