When you join us on a Build in the Dominican Republic, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in the culture while leaving a lasting impact in the lives of families and communities that need it most.
You'll work hard alongside volunteers, ground staff, translators, local contractors, and a deserving family so that you can all celebrate together and welcome them into their safe, new home. During the 9 days, lives are changed and connections are made that can last a lifetime.
The work itself is the reason we come together, but we'll also be introducing you to all the communities we work in, bring you to our favourite Caribbean restaurant called Mama Maria's, and give you a chance to see why it's called paradise (think of palm trees and views overlooking the ocean).
Over the years, volunteers like you have joined us to construct homes, schools, community centres, and other projects for communities along the north coast of the island. No previous experience is necessary for a Build, only a desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
Thank you for your interest in this life-changing experience. Please read through the following information and feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions.
Minimum Fundraising Requirements:
$2,995 - This is the amount each volunteer has been asked to fundraise/contribute in order to join us on this LiveDifferent Build. There is an initial $300 due within two weeks of registering to secure your spot on the Build trip.
Please note that this is an estimated fundraising goal. The total fundraising goal will be confirmed by July 1st, 2025 and will be +/- 10% based on inflation and cost of construction materials
