ABOUT EF

For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.

8 days

The experience of a lifetime is waiting for you. Every detail from the cities you’ll stay in to the cultural discoveries you’ll make have been customized by your teacher for your group. Take a look at your personal itinerary for a sneak peek of what's in store.

  • Day 1: Fly to the Dominican Republic

    Meet your Tour Director at the airport

    Travel to your service project location

    • Learn about your specific service work during your project orientation
    • Take a tour of the local community you’ll be serving

  • Days 2 - 5: Service project • Mariposa Foundation • Cabarete

    As communities evolve so do their needs. That’s why we work closely with non-profits to better understand the local challenges. Since projects are determined closer to your actual tour date, here’s a glimpse at what a typical day might look like. 

    • In the morning, begin your service project with children in a nearby village.
    • Spend the afternoon immersed in cultural activities.
    • In the evening, reflect, discuss events as a group, and draw connections between the day’s work and relevant global issues.


    Your Service Project Themes
    We work with local nonprofits to better understand the needs of each community and then focus projects on those issues. Themes include: 

    • Access to Education
    • Youth Development
    • Generational Poverty

  • Day 6: Service project • Mariposa Foundation • Cabarete
