Assist with
community development projects in the fabled Blue Mountains. See your efforts transform a village!
Jamaica's popular tourism image is of vast sandy beaches and all-inclusive hotels. But the island's small villages represent a more realistic view of Jamaican culture and community life. These are economically poor, isolated communities where people struggle to survive. As English-speaking descendants of slaves, the Jamaicans are resilient, proud, and resourceful. While their lives are difficult, the people are hard-working, spiritually enriched and hopeful for their future.
Global Volunteers started its ground-breaking work in the Blue Mountain communities, and we continue this 20-year relationship today. Since 1984, we have been privileged to work with and learn from the generous people in this region.
"We invite you to share this formidable relationship with us! In all of the areas we serve, you will be helping to ensure a better future for the children and their families of these quiet villages."
Volunteers sometimes spend a day in Port Antonio, visit the public beach at Morant Bay, or climb Blue Mountain peak -- one of the highest points in the Caribbean. Free-time arrangements and costs are your responsibility.
