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 had a great time at orphanage outreach and felt like I was well taken care of. We had excellent food, enjoyed a fun hike up the mountain, and saw how our hard work had a direct impact on the people of Monte Cristi. I also felt very safe at the orphanage."

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."It's a really amazing trip! You meet a bunch of new people, you get to "serve, not help" kids there, and it's definitely something I would do again!"

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"Orphanage Outreach is one of the most rewarding hands-on experiences I've ever been a part of. You'll leave knowing you made a difference, because it will be visible. It won't be only the physical differences you may have made at the orphanage, but the lasting differences you made in your relationship with the kids."
