Hello it's Milka here!
Thank you so much for your patience as we finalize the details of this summer's trip. Our local partner based in the Dominican Republic will join us virtually on February 28th from 6:30pm to 7pm EST (New York Time) to answer all the questions that you may
have about our inaugural
Dominican Youth Climate & Sustainability Travel Program! To RSVP email:
mi...@globetrottingdominicana.net
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The upcoming travel program is open to young activists and scholars of all backgrounds ages 18-30. Older participants may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The youth will gain valuable insights through chats, tours, hands-on projects, leadership workshops,
and cultural activities in the provinces that we will visit. This program offers youth the opportunity to learn about a range of sustainability and climate issues while interacting with leaders in fields such as eco-tourism, recycling, horticulture, river
and ecological restoration, coral restoration, among others! Our curriculum helps emerging leaders hone their leadership styles, improve their strategy and organizational development, and strengthen their outreach to diverse constituencies.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Limited scholarships will be available for socially and economically disadvantaged youth who are 18-30 years old who demonstrate a strong commitment to the issues that Globetrotting Dominicana supports.
UPON PROGRAM COMPLETION
We strongly believe in the need for lifelong skill development and peer support. Upon completion of this experiential service learning and leadership program, participants are eligible to share their experience at events and conferences, attend additional trainings,
and take active roles in the development of our public programming. They can continue to expand their professional network through networking events, collaborative partnerships, and mentoring within the Globetrotting Dominicana community.
