Description
The DCCD Group is a grassroots not-for-profit charitable organization based in Ontario, Canada. The DCCD Group strongly supports the practices of solidarity and empowerment through self-sustaining self-help community development projects. Through these practices, the DCCD strives to mobilize communities and open pathways to economic opportunities through; i) engaging Dominican and Haitian youth in areas of post-secondary education, skills training and capacity building and ii) providing Dominican and Haitian agricultural workers with technical skills training in organic farming practices.
The DCCD also offers an experiential educational program through its sister-organization, The DCCD Experience for Justice Program. This program is offered to Canadian high school, post-secondary and adult participants and is designed to raise awareness about the need for social justice in our world, promote responsible tourism and provide alternative travel options that appeal to the socially aware.
The DCCD Experience team collaborates in solidarity with various Dominican NGOs and partner communities to provide a unique program that touches on various aspects of development while examining and learning about a wide range of ever-present issues including but not limited to; social, political, economic and gender issues.
Objectives are as follows; to educate participants on the day-to-day realities of life in the Dominican Republic, to analyze and build understanding of the issues that surround that reality, to give opportunity to experience and appreciate another culture and through friendships, reflection and hands-on experience, to encourage and challenge individuals to become agents for social change.
