Inspiring boys to become positive young men

In the Dominican Republic, many families are impoverished and the public schools are poorly resourced. Boys have little or no access to after-school programs, are likely to drop out of school and engage in substance abuse — which dramatically limits their future success.

InspireDR provides free after-school programs that teach life skills and values, so boys can mature into responsible men, husbands and fathers.

Since 2015, we’ve helped more than 100 boys on their path toward being productive and responsible members of the community.

Positively Inspiring
& Educating Boys

Thanks to our donors, supporters, teachers and volunteers we provide these boys with the opportunity to learn practical skills and values.

First, we teach that actions have consequences: attendance, mutual respect, positive attitude and teamwork are rated daily and good grades unlocks further participation in fun InspireDR programs (like music production, photography, surfing, summer camp,…).

Yet, the backbone of our skills training is the free after-school program. At InspireDR boys learn practical skills such as computer literacy, English (ESL), public speaking, swimming, woodworking, lifeguard training, entrepreneurship, personal finance and more.

The results we observe are often incredible!

Both our team and the parents see the boys’ self-esteem and confidence improve quickly, along with their academic performance and behavior at school and at home. They come to 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 their community.

What About Girls?

We focus on boys, because we care for girls too. In 2015, when we started InspireDR, nothing was being done for boys in Cabarete and there were several excellent and well-funded non-profit organizations focusing on girls.

For Dominican girls to move past stereotypical roles as domestic laborers and family caretakers, and to escape pervasive domestic violence, they need support of boys and men.

Hence, helping boys to grow as responsible and open-minded men, husbands and fathers helps women break through the glass ceiling.

Become part of the InspireDR family and make a positive and lasting impact on these boys’ lives:

  • Donate any amount to help keep our program alive and thriving.
  • Volunteer with InspireDR, locally or as a visiting volunteer.

Our finances are independently audited and all donations are spent to educate the boys. Guaranteed.
