Volunteer With Dove

 Interested in volunteering with DOVE and our program? We would love to have you!

We know that even spending one afternoon with us in our club will prove to be a very rewarding and life changing experience. Whether you want to come spend a day of your vacation with us, or come to volunteer for 2 weeks (or more!) we would love to have you come and serve.

DOVE charges a fee of $75/day for each day a volunteer is working in the field with us and an adjusted rate for those volunteers serving for extended time periods, for large groups and for families. This fee includes your transportation, lunch and a full guided day in the field. You can make this payment via paypal, Visa, or by check and it is a fully tax deductable donation for those volunteers living in the States.

The field director will pick up volunteers and will be your guide for the day ensuring that you are able to visit and see everything you are interested in seeing. We guarantee that your experience with DOVE’s children and families will be a very rewarding one complete with lots of activities and love to give and receive.

There are many choices of programs and activities volunteers can participate in as they spend time with DOVE in the field. These include teaching our English class, working in the Boys’ and Girls’ Club at the Youth Development Center, feeding the street children, visiting the sick in the hospital, playing with and assisting handicapped children, helping in an orphanage, and organizing sports activities for the kids. You can discuss with Melissa (volunteer@dovemissions.org) what you are interested in doing and come up with a schedule for your visit.

Contact Melissa Bazely at volunteer@dovemissions.org to start planning your trip! There is a short application and agreement form all volunteers must fill out and then Melissa will arrange all the details for your stay at the DOVE Mission House.

Thank you for taking interest in our organization, you are definitely a vital part to our every day success and we are extremely grateful for you. We’re looking forward to helping you plan your volunteer endeavor with us – we can’t wait to get started planning your time here in Puerto Plata!
