Local Community service with
Residents of Puerto Rico
Goals achieved for joint house renovation
During spring 2025, Quest Adventures was proud to sponsor service trips for 3 outstanding school teams who worked on community- generated projects in The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Each team of students and teachers had the opportunity to get to know and work side-by-side with local residents as they completed projects that made an important difference in the lives of the local children and adults as well as their own team of students and teachers.
Boston Arts Academy
Team Dominican Republic-2025
This 2025 February community service trip was centered around collaborating with the La Casa Azul organization and the local elementary and high school in the small community of Arroyo Blanco, to create artistic workshops, murals, and complete other beautification projects that reflect environmental sustainability and self-empowerment. For the elementary school, these included the renovation of the school playground and equipment, teaching mini-English lessons, creating movement-based exercises and warm up games that encouraged self expression and play, organizing basketball & volleyball games that emphasized teamwork, creating arts & crafts, such as making loom bracelets. For the high school, the team created a large mural that emphasized shared values and ideas between schools. They also initiated a recycling campaign, using art to communicate the importance of this practice in a way that was engaging and accessible.
BINcA (Boston International Newcomers Academy)
Team Puerto Rico-2025
The April 2025 team collaborated with Ciudad Museo, a nonprofit that transforms public spaces through muralism on the west coast of the island. Our team assisted in the renovation of the Mirador(lookout building) in the town of Anasco. They cleaned and repainted the building with beautiful giant flowers, along with surrounding benches, attracting many local residents to the area once again, both for the spectacular view of the ocean and to learn the history of the historical portraits on the building. In addition, Team PR worked with another nonprofit, Aji Corps in San German, helping them to pack up, move, and set up in a new theater space where they manage and produce artistic and cultural events that benefit the community.
Brighton High School
Team Puerto Rico-2025
In May, Team PR from Brighton High worked with the nonprofit, Techos ‘pa la Gente”, a San Juan organization that continues to replace damaged roofs, resulting from Hurricanes Maria and Irma. Our students learned how to use all the building equipment, including electric saws & drills to hammering in plywood roofs, & installing windows. They cleared the grounds from dead plants, heavy debris and downed trees, mowed around the houses, planted beautiful flowers, and repainted tables and benches around the properties.
