Volunteer in Jamaica with Projects Abroad and become part of our ongoing efforts to help where it’s needed most.
You’ll work with us to achieve long-term goals on various volunteer programmes that address specific needs. Help children improve their reading and comprehension at schools, and do the same with adults in the community. Work outdoors and get your hands dirty building toilets and playgrounds. Or, spend time learning directly from doctors at a hospital.
You’ll live and work in and around Mandeville. Our full-time staff in Jamaica are there to support you 24/7 if you need it, wherever you’re based.
Get ready to dance to reggae rhythms and enjoy the warm Caribbean sunlight as a volunteer in Jamaica. You can also relax on beautiful white beaches or explore Jamaica’s lush green interior on hikes.

Where we are based in Jamaica
Mandeville
Most of our Jamaica volunteer projects are based in and around Mandeville. We have an amazing local team on the ground in Jamaica who will make your experience one to remember.
Mandeville is situated in the lush an inland university town based in the parish of Manchester. It’s about a four-hour drive from the popular tourist destination of Montego Bay.
In and around Mandeville, there’ll be plenty to see and do, and eat! We encourage you to try foods like jerk chicken and saltfish and ackee, some of Jamaica’s most famous dishes. You can visit idyllic white beaches in Montego Bay and Treasure Beach. Hikes are also a great option for exploring, and we recommend YS Falls or the famous Blue Mountains.
