Service and Language Immersion in the Dominican Republic

Start planning

8 days

Dominican Republic – Estimated 15 Service Hours


Familiarize yourself with island life in the Dominican Republic through hands-on service projects and authentic interactions with locals. Every day your students build their confidence in Spanish through morning language lessons and conversations with people from the area. As they work together with locals on a series of small community-based service projects, your students will soon be immersed in the culture, expanding their fluency, and experiencing life as the Dominicans do. And, they’ll return home with a better understanding of what meaningful service means in an interconnected world.Image displaying map describing the itinerary of the Service and Language Immersion in the Dominican Republic tour

Day 1: Fly to the Dominican Republic

Meet your Tour Director at the destination airport

Days 2 - 6: Service project • Central Mountain region

Travel to the Central Mountain region

As communities evolve, so do their needs. We’ll work closely with area non-profits and community members to better understand local challenges, while mixing in language lessons to foster authentic interactions with people in the community. Here’s a glimpse at what a typical day might look like. 

  • Each morning, you’ll take part in an interactive language lesson led by your local Program Director.
  • Spend afternoons putting your language skills to use during your service project with locals. Past projects have included planting community gardens and building pathways.
  • Take part in cultural activities like cooking classes and learning how Dominican farms operate to further your interaction with locals.
  • Evenings are a chance to reflect, discuss events as a group, draw connections between the day’s work and relevant global issues and to continue practicing your Spanish.

Day 7: Santiago

Enjoy the day relaxing at the beach

Day 8: Depart for home
