Program Description:

We are please to announce the Haiti Summer volunteer program. This is a summer program geared toward individuals who desire to spend sometime in Haiti to volunteer for what will be a memorable and life changing experience. Participants will be able to stay for a week at one of our program's large estates, where food, lodging, entertainment and extracurricular activities will be provided. Travel will also be provided to host NGO locations, where participants can aid in any number of volunteer services ranging anywhere from education, relief work, nutritional aide or a number of programs currently being facilitated by NGOs.

This is a very unique opportunity for individuals to directly aide in the relief efforts. We believe that the best way to go about building awareness and making a lasting impact is by having individuals become directly involved in changing Haiti for the better. What those who enter the program will gain is an understanding of the devastation wrought on Haitian soil and what proactive steps can be accomplished to rebuild Haiti for a brighter tomorrow. Program Participants will leave the program with a lasting impression and be empowered with information to bring back to their own constituents.

When it comes to a disaster of this magnitude, out-sourcing responsibility can only go so far. Only by being directly involved can we hope to make any real impact. This program allows individuals to do just that without having to be burden of personally planning all the logistics and coordination that is necessary to properly plan such a trip and excursion. Our organization is lead by a dedicated staff that, not only are Haitian themselves, but belong to prominent families in Haiti and thus have a long standing tradition and affiliation of being involved in the inner workings of Haiti’s development. Thus we are able to provide all the necessary safety majors to insure that all participants of this program will be able to fulfill the program itinerary without any fear.
