I AM Voluntourism<\/b> is a social enterprise that provides opportunities to “Give Forward | Build Jamaica” by investing directly in Jamaica’s inadequately serviced rural communities. Our programs includes volunteering, travel camps, Agri-tourism and international study abroad initiatives. We build bridges that connect volunteer networks across the Caribbean, Europe, United States and Canada. These volunteer networks provide sustainable support for our training programs and community-based projects while empowering underserved and at-risk communities globally.
<\/p>\n

Volunteering Programs:<\/b> Local and international travelers are invited to visit Jamaica and experience its culture and people.  Travelers volunteer their time and participate in activities aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged children. Volunteers are able to experience a variety of communities and places in Jamaica with stays centered in Montego Bay, Negril, and Trelawny.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Study Abroad Programs:<\/b> Our programs provide opportunities for Jamaican student-athletes to have educational experiences in other countries.  Students travel to countries such as the United States, United Kingdom or France to attend school at the junior-high school, High school or college level.  These student athletes return the Jamaica to participate in our Global Youth Ambassadors program within the “Give Forward | Build Jamaica” concept.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
