Arrival and Orientation Process
Your program's orientation is scheduled to commence on the first and third Monday of every month. To ensure a smooth start, volunteers should plan their arrival in Jamaica on the Sunday preceding the orientation.
Upon successfully registering for the program, please proceed to book the flights to arrive at the Donald Sangster Internstional Airport. Please note that you should book to depart from the Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. Airport pickup services are exclusively available on Sundays.
Upon arrival at the airport, a local team member will warmly welcome you and provide transportation to the volunteer accommodation. The Program Fee comprehensively covers your accommodation expenses.
For those exploring Jamaica before joining the volunteer program, it is essential to coordinate with the local team for transportation arrangements from your current location. Alternatively, you can independently travel to the volunteer accommodation.
The orientation will be facilitated by our dedicated Jamaica team at the volunteer accommodations, commencing at 9:00 AM on Monday mornings. This comprehensive session will equip you with essential insights for your volunteer journey in Jamaica, including an introduction to the country, local customs, guidelines, safety protocols, travel possibilities within Jamaica, and an overview of your specific project and placement. Additionally, the orientation serves as an excellent opportunity to forge connections with fellow volunteers and exchange contact information for weekend adventures and social activities.
Volunteer schedules and further program details will be provided during the orientation to ensure you are well-prepared for your enriching experience.
