Founded in 2014, InspireDR is an organization devoted to the mentoring and after school education of boys and young men in the Cabarete area. They are always looking for male volunteers to help them meet their goals.
The Dominican Republic Education and Mentoring Project aka The DREAM Project was originally started as collaboration between Cabarete business people, tourists and college students all wishing to make a difference. Today the DREAM Project is in multiple classrooms throughout the North Coast of the Dominican Republic and serves over 7,000 students a year by through its numerous educational programs.
Tres Mariposa Montesorri, or 3MM as it is abbreviated is a Montessori school open to all members of the Cabarete community looking for day care, or pre k through grade 1 Montessori education. Roughly 70% of the enrolled students are on scholarship and come from some of the most financially dire situations around Cabarete. The other 30% of the student body comes from the diverse international community that makes Cabarete so special.
The Mariposa DR Founded was founded in 2009 by a group of caring volunteers who are committed to act on the urgent need for community-based solutions to end poverty. Their mission is to end generational poverty and to accomplish this goal Mariposa has built an impressive after school program devoted entirely to girls and young woman.
Outside Cabarete about ten miles or fifteen minutes by GuaGua (car) is Wise Mountain. Wise Mountain certainly tops our list of recommend places to volunteer and study Spanish. Their mission is to reclaim land and restore it to its more natural state while saving as many horses, cats and dogs as possible. We at CLI feel there is a certain authenticity living on Wise Mountain while commuting to CLI to study Spanish.
