Who We Are
Founded in 1992, Bridges to Community develops poverty alleviation strategies with local communities in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Within selected rural regions of the two countries, Bridges works closely with community leaders to help mitigate poverty, historically in four distinct, but overlapping, program areas: health, education, housing, and economic development. All our program areas are driven by volunteer participation that incorporates service-learning into the volunteers’ on-the-ground experience.
We work in partnership with rural communities within the San Juan province of the Dominican Republic.
Mission Statement
Bridges to Community builds meaningful, long-term partnerships with underserved communities in the Dominican Republic, uniting local leadership and international volunteers to drive progress in education, infrastructure, and capacity building. Through our programs, community members are building long-term sustainability growth and resilient, empowered communities. Facilitating autonomy and supporting self-sufficiency through self-driven initiatives.
