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."When we got there, all those kids wanted was a hand to hold or a leg to grab onto. It was obvious from day one that these kids needed our attention more than any English practice. By loving these kids and putting smiles on their faces, regardless of language barriers, you've already completed the mission of Orphanage Outreach."

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 can't imagine that I could have had a better time! This trip was my 5th overseas mission trip to provide eye care. Tom and his staff kept us well informed from the time we started the process in the States to the final day of our trip. Orphanage Outreach was by far the most organized host we have ever had. If this is your first trip out of the States you will not be disappointed. We had no worries. I can't wait to go back and visit with them 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."You will be hit very hard with the severe imbalance in availability of basic necessities in our world. We have SO much here(USA) and they have so little. But they generally as a society seem happier than us.WHY? Seeing and living this(even for a week) will give you the will to make a change."

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"I knew going to the orphanage would be an amazing experience but I had no idea how much of an impact it would have on my life. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience!!!"
