The Encuentro Dominicano Program offers a unique opportunity for Creighton University students to immerse themselves in Dominican culture through living with local families and studying Spanish, Theology, and Dominican History at the ILAC Mission. Students work on community projects like building schools, aqueducts, and homes, funded by the program. The experience fosters deep connections with the local community, emphasizing love, service, and cultural exchange. The program's core is the bond between students and their host families, marked by shared hospitality and mutual learning.
