In collaboration with the United Nations Ambassador of Dominica & the Dominican government we are creating local projects focused on sustainability through agriculture. We hope to bring experts on agriculture along with students to the island for agricultural forums. These forums will promote and inspire growth in Dominica’s agriculture industry.
The first Stone & Compass service learning trip to Dominica is set to take place in the summer of 2020. It was designed entirely by youth.
Youth who go on the service learning trip have the opportunity to rebuild homes that were destroyed during Hurricane Maria in 2017, contribute to the construction of a new hospital, and work in schools to spur excitement in local children about sustainability and agriculture.
Help us in our mission to connect people and cultures by fostering friendships, ideas, and inspiration.
