The Jamaica Service Project 2018
My Travel Story
The purpose of this trip is to launch an ongoing effort designed to make a significant impact on the lives and future prospects of Jamaican youth, by leveraging the kindness, expertise, and resources in our network of colleagues, family and friends.
The trip will provide a fun, rewarding, and safe means by which individuals can satisfy their urge to serve. There will be cultural exchange opportunities provided as part of the trip but the emphasis will be placed on service activities.
We are partnering with the Jamaica Volunteer Programs (http://jamaicavolunteerprograms.com) who will be providing lodging and local transportation. Please see the video at the link below for more information on the Jamaica Volunteer Programs and the types of volunteer opportunities available.
