Program Overview

Setting Description:
Jamaica has something for everyone. We have sun, sand, beaches, mountains, rivers, sport, music, culture, cuisine, and more. About the only thing we don’t have is snow – not that it stopped the Jamaican Bobsled Team! However, a large number of Jamaicans are struggling with poverty and living in squalor: poor housing, limited food supply, unemployment, and inadequate access to quality health care and education. So while Jamaica is a fascinating country filled with beauty, adventure and vitality, the suffering is widespread – and rapidly increasing. This is why Jamaica is now a volunteer destination of choice. Come and see how you can get involved, make a difference and be inspired by possibility.
