Come join a network, stay connected, and leave an even bigger impression on JA! Goodbyes are hard to do – but why should we say goodbye this time? There is no question in knowing that you have made a tremendous impact and have touched the lives of individuals here in Jamaica in a way that cannot be justified in words. It is a feeling. Your influence is indefinite and some of the beneficiaries have yet to be reached. In other words, your projects provide longstanding benefits for those in the community! Continue your contribution to JA by staying connected through the Global Service Adventures Alumni Network.

What better way to hear about the volunteer experience than from an actual previous past program participant? Many people are very intrigued and want to hear more about your experience- an info session is a perfect venue for this. When you sign up to do an information session, you will receive credit (Again, to be used in any way you choose) We will help you prepare and set up the interested participants. It’s also great if you could get some people to sit in and hear about things from your lens.
Campus representative is the role that belongs to alumni that are enthusiastic and feel strongly about volunteering. In becoming a campus representative, you are becoming a leader in the international volunteer market. You are seeking to commit to participating in a variety of campus-ready promotional activities such as, passing out brochures, postering, hosting meetings, and talking with faculty and students alike. Having access to a superior campus portal will aid in streamlining this process for you. The process will involve weekly challenges related to marketing and social media, for example. Some tasks are worth up to $150 in credit. By the end of the semester, you may be able to earn enough credit to travel back to Jamaica while never touching your pocket.
The iCAN Foundation is our own charitable organization that works to provide additional funding to GSA projects and to others in the community, By participating in fundraising and in gathering donations, you will be helping not only with funds, but also with shifting attention to important issues.

They say our youth are the future – they are responsible for approaching and developing solutions to the problems that face smaller societies, and the world at large. Help bring these young people exposure to how vital and transformative volunteering can be. Find a local high school, meet school and local leaders and in no time, you will adopt them. In other words, help them learn about GSA Programs and set them up to enroll in a trip. Think this may be something you’re interested in? Send us details on the high school and you can direct them in forming meetings for those interested. We can help you develop what to present and tips to help them enroll. Everybody wins! When the students from that school enroll, you’ll be able to build up and earn more credits.

Individual and group travelers alike are constantly seeking to verify the credibility of our programs through references.

Receive $50 credit toward references after committing to a year of fulfilling the role.
