Outward Bound Service Learning
JAFP specializes in remote locations and little villages. This is where our students get the most authentic tast of real island life. We focus our work on remote locations and schools, far from the resorts and touristed areas of the island.
Short term study abroad and service learning in Jamaica. Open to university students from across the US. The JAFSP has worked in more Jamaican schools than any other US aid organization!
