"Orphanage Outreach truly gives you a whole new perspective upon life. The children and the staff teach you so much about life and about yourself. Once you experience the interactions amongst the people in Monte Cristi you never want to leave, I for one cannot wait to return. "

College Teams

An Orphanage Outreach trip is a great option for a college alternative break team. You are invited to join us any week or weeks of the year. During the school year, our college teams are usually focused on teaching English in local Dominican grade schools. During holiday weeks and over the summer, the teams provide learning camps to children. Pre-med, pre-dental, and nursing teams are invited to join us to teach public health education classes, and to volunteer at our medical and dental clinics as part of the Orphanage Outreach Health Corps program. And college Spanish clubs have an amazing opportunity to practice and expand their Spanish through constant conversations, and teaching classes in Spanish - geography, reading, public health, and more. We invite your team to join us for your next alternative break!

In addition to the service, you will also have an opportunity to explore a part of the island for additional cultural experiences--perhaps visiting a farmer's market on the Haiti border, some significant historical locations, or a national park beach.

Some very valuable experiences get packed into a one or two week alternative break.

If you haven't led a team to a developing country before (and even if you have), you will appreciate the "turn key" approach we take. We will purchase the insurance, meet you at the airport, arrange the meals, housing, ground transportation, and projects. You'll still be busy, but it will be time well spent working with and supporting your team members, not managing basic logistics.

We invite your team to join us for your next alternative break!
