Program Overview

Our volunteer placements are unique, as we work directly with underprivileged communities, orphanages, schools, and organizations in Jamaica. This ensures that volunteers are placed in projects that need their help the most.

We accept participants of all age groups, nationalities, religions, or groups of any size. If you are interested in traveling abroad to volunteer, then you are a perfect candidate for our programs.

By joining us, you won't only make a lifelong difference in the lives of many Jamaicans, but you will also gain exposure to the local culture first-hand.

Justin BoyingtonUnited States · April 2016

Fully Immersed in Jamaican culture!

The Jamaican volunteer program has given me a chance to embrace Jamaican culture throughout my time in the country. I have been given a chance to try the foods, interact with the people, and view the country in all of its glory. The staff alone at JVP have made my stay an absolutely wonderful one and one that I will miss dearly. I hope that I have the chance to come back to this amazing country and volunteer here again!

Lifetime Memories

Unforgettable experience! All of you should try it. It was only my first time volunteering and I'd love to do it again through the same Jamaica International Projects. I taught french in a primary school and volunteered in an orphanage in the afternoons.
