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."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."

High School 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."This program is an unforgettable experience and opportunity. I learned so much from these kids and I know they taught me more in a week than I could have hoped to teach them in a year. I went into this trip thinking I would be helping them and they would really need me, but the truth is they don't need help, they need a friendly face and a piggy-back ride at recess, that's it. They are happier than kids who have three or four times as much as they do and all they ask for is a fun time and a little bit of attention at recess."

Christian MissionsOrphanage Outreach invites you to join us for a short term mission trip to the Dominican Republic. 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's a great opportunity to discover a new kind of life and to learn more about yourself."

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."Orphanage Outreach was so great to work with. They were professional, organized, friendly, and ready to answer all our questions. It was obvious how much they love the orphanage and the people of Monte Cristi."

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."My experience at Orphanage Outreach was incredible and a life-changing trip for myself and my family."

Individual VolunteersEach year many volunteers travel with us solo. You don't need to have a team to make a big difference!"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."
