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 was really surprised at the obvious poverty level of the surrounding community. There is no doubt that there is an enormous need to do all we can to help these people in whatever way we can. The hospitality extended to myself and my team was incredible, and the children were absolutely delightful! I would absolutely encourage anyone thinking of volunteering to do so. It is certainly rewarding and fills you with a great sense of accomplishment!"

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"This program gives the volunteers an amazing opportunity to learn about a totally different culture in a way that teaches them not only about the lives of the Dominican people, but also about another way to live life."
