What is your dream vacation? For us, it’s a vacation where you get to relax with friends and family, dip your toes in the ocean, take a walk on the beach, and also get outside of your beautiful resort to see the world around you–and maybe help make that world a little better.
Does our dream vacation sound good to you?
If so, we’ve got good news. This summer of 2018, BeachCorps is proud to announce that we will launch the “Dream Volunteer Vacation” video contest offering 15 grand prizes of free airfare, hotel, transport and volunteer program. Dream Volunteer Vacation contest winners will post a video saying 1) what nonprofit cause they support, 2) why that cause is the best and 3) why they should win the prize. Videos with the most “likes” will win. Contestants can also suggest other US or Dominican nonprofits to carry out a project in the Dominican Republic that they would like to support and BeachCorps can add them to the list.
The campaign will give out 15 free trips to: a family of five, five people from the same pro-corporate social responsibility (CSR) business, and one group of five kids from the same university. These groupings will allow BeachCorps to target our key markets of families, millennials, and businesses. In each category, five semifinalists will compete in a final round, creating exciting competitions among different nonprofits, pro-CSR businesses, and universities.
This contest is inspired by one of the most successful viral marketing efforts ever: the Queensland Australia “Best Job in the World” Campaign, which was hugely successful in showcasing the coastal beauty of Queensland. Similarly, the Dream Volunteer Vacation contest will draw attention to a brand new tourism product: beach vacations tied to worthy, independent nonprofit causes.
The contest will draw attention to our summer 2019 launch of five summer English language programs with the Puntacana Foundation; the Dream Project (which will execute one project in Cabarete in the North Coast and another in La Romana); and other excellent nonprofits. This contest will also help draw attention to our numerous other projects supporting Rotary clubs, scholarship opportunities for youth in Interact and Rotaract; health and home construction projects; projects with Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic and Rescatame Punta Cana protecting stray dogs and cats; and our programs promoting the environment, particularly our “Recycling for Education” program giving school supplies for recycling and our “Flea Market Carnivals” with our nonprofit partner FECOTUR selling items donated by tourists to raise funds.
So stay tuned to BeachCorps on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram for more details!

I want to express my appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of setting. After looking through the world wide web and getting views that were not beneficial, I assumed my entire life was well over. Existing without the presence of solutions to the difficulties you have solved all through your entire write-up is a crucial case, and ones that might have negatively damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your blog. Your own personal mastery and kindness in dealing with all areas was tremendous. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not discovered such a step like this. I can now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this reliable and results-oriented help. I will not hesitate to refer your web site to anyone who requires assistance about this issue.
Thanks very much! Not sure the Beach Bum deserves such accolades.
