Volunteer Your Summer With Outreach 360

A Life-Changing Summer Adventure
If you are looking for an incredible experience this summer that will change your world and the world of hundreds of children, a volunteer experience with Outreach360 may be for you!  Children in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua lack access to basic opportunities, and most reach adulthood without the education or training needed for college or a skilled job. By volunteering in an Outreach360 neighborhood center teaching English, literacy, and community health, you help to break the dead-end cycle of poverty by giving these children a world of choice. Join us for one week to three months for this life-changing summer adventure. 
This summer, volunteers will make a lasting difference by conducting learning camps for the many children we serve in rural communities, many of whom would not have this type of opportunity without you! Join us in the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua for 1 week to 3 months for this life-changing adventure!
