Bridges to Community has over 30 years of experience leading international service trips for volunteers of all ages. Bridges forms long-lasting relationships with communities and ensure that the health, housing, education, and economic development projects that volunteers work on are based on the real needs, goals, and interest of the communities. On our week long service trips, volunteers stay in the community, working alongside community members on meaningful projects. Each year, over 800 Bridges to Community volunteers provide housing, classrooms, libraries, health clinics, and latrines for thousands of Dominicans.

Bridges to Community is hiring!

We are looking for a Volunteer Manager to join our team in San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic.

This is a full-time, on-site role for someone who loves working with people and bringing meaningful service experiences to life.

We're looking for someone who is highly organized, proactive, and adaptable, with at least two years of experience leading volunteer, service learning, or experiential education programs. Professional fluency in English and Spanish is required.

For US candidates, this is a one-year contract starting December 1, 2026, with a monthly stipend, housing allowance, round-trip airfare, and medical insurance.

Before: a house at risk of collapsing.
Now: a home that will stand.

Modesto Reyes and his family lived seven years in El Guanal, one strong wind away from losing their home.

Today, that home is built.

We are proud to present the 2026 Bridge Builder Award to Miranda Jennings — volunteer, staff member, Country Director, Board Member, and one of the most dedicated people in the Bridges to Community family.

Since 1997, Miranda has helped shape this organization into what it is today, from leading trips in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic to helping build the comprehensive, community-led development model that guides our work. Today she brings those same values to her community in Massachusetts as Executive Director of the Winchendon Community Action Committee.

Join us on October 15 at Davenport Mansion to celebrate her. 🎉

Did you know: fewer that 5% of young people in our partner communities have the means to go to college.

Bridges to Community's Scholarship Program covers full tuition, transportation, materials, and mentorship for talented students in the San Juan province removing the barriers that keep them out of college.

This year, 13 scholars are enrolled. 100% meet the minimum GPA. 85% are women building careers as future teachers, engineers, and leaders.

They've earned their place. They just need the resources to get there and that's where you come in.
