Orphanage Outreach is looking for a Team Leader to lead the teams. Job can be compared to a missions leader or camp director. The Team Leader's responsibilities are the safety and health of the volunteers, the overall experience the volunteers have, and team logistics. The job will challenge whatever leadership and management skills you have. You will be working with other Orphanage Outreach leaders.
This is a great opportunity to share Christ's love with the Dominican people, Christian volunteers, and unchurched volunteers. It can be an unbelievably fulfilling position.

Position includes room and board, excellent insurance, a monthly stipend of $1000, and a one month duration trip home each year.
Applicants with children are strongly discouraged from applying due to the extreme workload, extreme flexibility required, limited living space, and limited school opportunities.
