The Jamaica Tourist Board has added a dedicated page to its website for visitors who desire to volunteer during their vacation to the island.
Visitors can now easily plan volunteer experiences through this voluntourism initiative. The combination of voluntary service with the traditional elements of a vacation has become increasingly popular in Jamaica and the website page is in response to this growing trend. One of the first of its kind in the Caribbean, the webpage offers a database of faith, health and education based volunteer programs, with more categories to appear as they become available.
From the home page of VisitJamaica.com, visitors can go to the “Feel the Vibe” tab and click “Volunteer in Jamaica.” There are a host of activities for travelers to choose from, along with an FAQ section and guide to volunteering in Jamaica.
