Our Summer Friends Trips are designed for individuals who want to be part of a service experience but don’t have a group to join.

You’ll connect with volunteers from across the country for an unforgettable week in July, working alongside a community in need.

And here’s where it gets even better: for every friend, family member, or neighbor you recruit to join your trip, you’ll receive 10% off your trip fee*.

There’s no minimum—and no cap.

The more people you bring, the more you save. Recruit 10 volunteers, and your trip is completely free!

While recruiting isn’t required, sharing this meaningful and immersive experience with your friends and family only makes it more fun!

Through Bridges to Community’s microfinancing program, local farmers receive the support they need to invest in their crops, strengthen their income, and build a more stable future without the burden of overwhelming debt.

What makes this program even more powerful is its cycle of impact: as loans are repaid, the funds return to the community so other families can access the same opportunity.

Real growth happens when communities grow together. 🤝

Johan lives in a community where agriculture is the primary source of income.

Without access to the right resources, tools, and support, hard work isn't enough.

The Agricultural Fund creates opportunities for people like Johan, who is already seeing measurable results on his hydroponic farm.

🏠❤️ From the UK to the DR, what a journey!

Most of us take a bathroom for granted.

But for hundreds of families in rural communities, a safe, private bathroom doesn't exist. Shared, deteriorating, or nonexistent facilities put entire families, especially children. At risk of disease, contamination, and loss of basic dignity every single day.
That's why we also build bathrooms.

Each unit we construct includes a flushing toilet, a private shower, and a septic system built to last designed not just for one family, but to serve entire patios of households.

Behind every home we build, there's a process and it starts with the community itself.

Every family we build for has gone through a process rooted in transparency and community trust.

Families write a letter. We show up to listen. Community leaders help us prioritize.

During the same week, the Bronxville HS and John Jay HS groups came together to build not one, but two homes alongside the community.

This is what happens when people come together with purpose.

I am excited to be heading back to the Dominican Republic in June with my fellow Morgan Stanley colleagues!

In partnership with @bridgestocommunity, we aim to raise enough funds to build two houses - complete with indoor plumbing (it’s gonna be big! *said in my best Atropos voice).

Help me make a difference for a deserving community. All contributions will help us provide these families in need of stable, safe shelter - a home.

This was such a rewarding experience for me last year. I cannot wait to be back to reconnect with familiar faces, create new friendships, eat fresh food, be in wonder of nature, and make more magical memories. ❤️

With love and gratitude, Cheryl

Meet Yuli Méndez!

Mother of two in the El Palmar community, doing everything she can to give her children, Yilianny and Alexander, a safe place to call home. 🏠

Their current house leaks when it rains, floods nearby, and is barely holding together. But that's about to change.

✨ A new home means safety. Stability. Dignity. And a future her kids deserve.
