RAIZ Ministry

There are many reasons why the youth in the Dominican Republic might feel stuck, stemming from generational belief systems and lack of representation.

At Raiz we tackle key challenges faced by our youth. From skill-building workshops to inspiring role models.

Share your thoughts on how we can create a brighter future together!

This week, we are excited to introduce Alexander. His compassion and commitment to Raiz has made him into a leader with our students and a leader in his community.

He has an incredible ability to connect with others no matter the problem and offer love and understanding.

To him Raiz is family. The time spent with his peers is invaluable; they uplift one another in unity, making each moment special. At Raiz, they aren’t just students—they’re brothers and sisters, both at camp and beyond.
