INSPIRING
GREAT FUTURES
There isn't an easy path to success.
It takes:
DEDICATION
MENTORSHIP
QUALITY PROGRAMS
To help build great futures for young people.
What's the issue?
In the Dominican Republic, 41% of population live below poverty line. (1)
Public schools poorly resourced (low 2.5% of GDP allocated to Education). (2)
Boys have little to no access to after-school programs, are likely to drop out of school and engage in substance abuse — which dramatically limits their career opportunities and future success.
Why boys?
Primary reasons for working with boys:
-
Boys need guidance to mature into responsible men, husbands, fathers.
-
For Dominican girls to move past stereotypical roles they need support from boys, men.
-
There is already an established, well funded program for girls.
In the end, family is about living together and aspiring to achieve common goals.
How we do it?
We utilize a positive discipline method that rewards on-time attendance, creativity, mutual respect, positive attitude and teamwork.
Good marks are rewarded with opportunities to participate in projects such as (acting, DJ and music production, improv, kiteboarding, photography, surfing, summer camp...).
The results we observe are often incredible!
What we do?
InspireDR provides free after-school programs that teach essential life and career skills and values, so boys in the Dominican Republic can mature into responsible men, husbands and fathers.
Since 2015, we and donors like you have helped more than 100 boys on their path toward being productive and responsible members of the community.
Program Mission:
Educate, mentor and inspire underserved boys to become
productive and responsible
members of the community.
Together, we're getting results.
Our team and parents see consistent improvement in self-esteem, confidence, academic performance and other positive behavior.
The boys see themselves as valuable and worthy, which translates into respectful relationships, particularly with girls and women. Their career and income opportunities expand and they develop the desire and means to serve community.
