Welcome to the Peace Corps/Dominican Republic.

Welcome to the official web site of the Peace Corps Dominican Republic. Peace Corps has been working in the Dominican Republic for 45 years assisting organizations and communities in implementing sustainable projects that will improve the quality of life of disadvantaged Dominicans, develop the future of their families and communities, and ultimately contribute to the positive development of the Dominican Republic.

With nearly 150 volunteers and numerous staff members living and working in the Dominican Republic, Peace Corps has been effectively helping to promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the people served and also helping to promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

The Peace Corps Dominican Republic web site provides an insight into the lives of volunteers currently serving in country and into the lives of returned Peace Corps volunteers that once served in country. It also provides information about the project sectors that Peace Corps currently has implemented in the Dominican Republic as well as information about the Dominican Republic, photos, videos and more.

I’m very glad I put the effort into getting to know my project partner, who although very difficult in the beginning, turned out to be my best friend.Kathryn TeagueFormer volunteer in the Dominican Republic 2005-2007.
