A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Jamaica
Where to Volunteer Abroad in Jamaica
Located west of Hispaniola, Jamaica is right at the heart of the Caribbean Sea. The country has characteristically Caribbean sunny weather, golden beaches, and thriving resort life, but with an African feel. Here are the best places to volunteer in Jamaica.
Kingston. The capital of Jamaica lies on the coast in the southeastern area of the country with urban vibes, and the government and financial transactions here are central to Jamaica’s economy. The majority of volunteer Jamaica programs are here, which focus on assisting underprivileged youth in parishes and schools. In your down time, be sure to visit one of the many parks here, such as Hope Gardens or Emancipation Park.
Montego Bay. Located in the northwestern area on the coast, this city is a popular tourist destination with tourism being pivotal to the economy. While one face of it speaks to typical Jamaican brochures, another area shows its grittiness with the hustle and bustle of traffic. Stroll along the Hip Strip (Gloucester Avenue) and take a bite out of jerk chicken in one of the many local restaurants.
Ocho Rios. A popular port for cruise and cargo ships, you’ll find this city in the northern area on the coast. While you won’t find eight rivers here, you can try climbing the terraced stairs of Dunn’s River Falls. You could also visit Columbus Park, where supposedly Christopher Columbus first landed and where you’ll discover colonial buildings and maritime artefacts. Swim with the dolphins at Dolphin’s Cove or marvel at the highway of ferns at Fern Gully.
