The CIEE Service-Learning program in Santiago, Dominican Republic is designed for students with four or more semesters of college-level Spanish and demonstrated experience in volunteerism or community service. Participants engage in active service while reflecting upon the complexities and challenges facing Santiago’s Cibao region through an approach that integrates academics and urban and rural community-based service. The program is ideal for students interested in grassroots and community-based learning, and those who are thinking about Peace Corps or other service- and community-based opportunities after graduation. The program is also ideal for those wanting to acquire skills and experience conducting fieldwork-based research, and those seeking to substantively improve their Spanish language ability.
