Friends of the Dominican Republic (FDR) is an active group of returned Volunteers and Staff, current Volunteers and other concerned individuals who are striving to help Dominicans improve their lives; helping to fulfill the Third Goal of the Peace Corps; and creating a community of all those who have the interests of the Dominican people at heart. We are working to accomplish these purposes by:

  • Directly contributing to the work of Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic by providing funding for Volunteer-coordinated activities and projects, and/or in-kind contributions that support the development of Peace Corps programs.
  • Supporting the presence of an online community that will enable a diverse array of people, and particularly DR RPCV's, to reconnect, stay connected, and share ideas and experiences.
  • Helping to focus on opportunities that support Third Goal activities.
