What makes volunteering here special

The project location Samaná is located in the north-east of the Dominican Republic on the peninsula of the same name. From the capital Santo Domingo, it is just a 2-hour drive away. Every year, several thousand tourists travel to the city of 108,000 inhabitants. This is partly due to the numerous dream beaches, the impressive nature and the annual spectacle of the migration of thousands of North Atlantic humpback whales between January and March, but also because of the warm local culture. As a volunteer in our volunteer projects, you will not only live in a tropical paradise, but also contribute to strengthening the local community, restoring nature and protecting the environment. Here are our top 4 reasons to volunteer in the Dominican Republic:
