Since its inception in 2009, Building Sustainable Borders (B.S.B) has been instrumental in creating an opportunity for young people and their parents from the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti to participate in an exchange program focusing on humanitarian missions, community service, cultural and educational initiatives, and to include distribution of in-kind donations, such as electronics, cl
The organization is also a humanitarian organization with a unique emphasis on youth programs to promote international awareness, develop leadership skills, and create exciting opportunities for youth to travel abroad. In our program, youth learn about the culture and customs of people from the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. Our youth ambassadors promote and participate in humanitarian projects individually or together as a group to host social and/or community events, which often can count for credits toward high school, serving as a Youth Ambassador for international delegations. ~~> These ambassadors serve some of the poorest communities in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, distributing collected donations (food, medicine, clothing, school supplies, and sporting goods) to orphanages, public schools, hospitals, and grassroots community organizations in Villa Gonzalez, Monte Cristi, Dajabon, Haina, Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, Cape Haitian, Quanaminthe, Haiti, to name a few.
- We are aiming to strengthen young people from various areas within the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola through a multicultural youth experience. This includes connecting underprivileged youth to resources by way of cooperative efforts, contributions, and programs centered around travel, apparel, educational materials, and sports gear.
