About
Enjoy the vibrant summer culture of the Dominican Republic while creating and supporting a sports league! Soak up the sun in the Dominican Republic as you work with local youth to put leadership in motion and start a sports league in your community. After building your team, travel together to tournaments and workshops to compete against other teams in the region. Meanwhile, spend your time in community immersing yourself in the lively culture of the Dominican Republic, earning 155 service hours, enjoying arroz con habichuelas (a local dish made with rice and beans), and learning to play dominoes with your new friends.
