Our fees

Although the Dominican experience is an educational organization, the fact remains that our goal is to offer people an alternative way to discover the world while learning new skills.

It is very important to clarify that we get no government grants in any way whatsoever in connection with the operation of program. Our only income comes from fees paid by participants We receive no commission in the sale of flight tickets and travel insurance.

Since we chose to be as transparent as possible. To do this, we segment the different costs related as follows: 1. registration fee (payable to Solidarite partage), 2. participation fee (Solidarite partage) and 3. international transport (payable to your choice of travel agency). Thus, registering a project with the Dominican experience you know exactly where your money goes. You know how much each component of your trip. At the end of the experiment we send to the person responsible detailed of the accounting.
