Program Highlights
On the weekends, volunteers are spoiled for choice in terms of travel opportunities. There are many paradise beaches awaiting you in places like Ocho Rios, Negril, Montego Bay, & Port Antonio.
The Blue Mountains, YS Falls, Dunns River Falls, the Bob Marley Museum, Outameni Experience, and Treasure Beach are popular weekend or day trips from Mandeville.
Water sports and activities like diving, snorkeling, and river tubing and rafting are popular around the entire coast. Or you can choose to just chill in a hammock and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
No trip to Jamaica is complete without experiencing the vibrant music scene.
Echoes of Jamaicas most famous citizen, Bob Marley, will undoubtedly follow you everywhere on the island and spectacular music festivals take place throughout the year.

I wish I had a time machine to go back in time
October 16, 2022by: Odale Fitzgerald - United KingdomProgram: Projects Abroad in JamaicaHi All, thank you for taking time to read this. Looking back at my time on the project, I can soundly say that the project has helped me shaped the direction of my career! I am now fully engaged into the emergency management within the UK working for a council. Since 2019, I have done an internship at the British Red Cross Community Resilience program and now work at St John Ambulance as a Community response coordinator. The internship allowed me to start my masters and when i apply for jobs (previously) they would always ask me to vividly describe my time and i can always give a real good account. Being on Projects abroad was my first experience as emergency/disaster management and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the project!
