Why Volunteer With Us
Show up, and it shapes a child.
You will serve children whose restoration depends on the adults who show up for them consistently, whatever your specific role.
You will work alongside a leadership team that values excellence as much as compassion, and expects both from every volunteer.
You will be part of a parish's recovery. St. Elizabeth is rebuilding, and this institution is choosing to plant itself here permanently, at exactly this moment.
You will find a place suited to your actual skill and season of life, whether that's an hour a month from anywhere in the world, or a season spent on our campus in Jamaica.
Find Your Level
Four levels of service.
You will work alongside a leadership team that values excellence as much as compassion, and expects both from every volunteer.
Expertise driven. Lend your professional judgment and counsel on your own schedule, no fixed hours required. Ideal for senior professionals, retired executives, and subject matter experts.
01
Advisory
Occasional, Remote
A defined, time-bound contribution. A grant proposal reviewed, a curriculum unit written, an event staffed, a document designed. You commit to a clear deliverable, then you're done, unless you choose to continue.
02
Project Based
A Clear Deliverable
Regular, ongoing involvement, typically weekly or monthly, for volunteers based in or near Jamaica. This is the backbone of our day-to-day operation: classroom support, administrative help, facilities assistance, and more.
03
Recurring Local
Weekly Or Monthly
Extended, on-the-ground service, from a one to two week mission trip to a full semester as a Visiting Scholar or Guest Faculty member. Our highest impact, highest trust roles, with the fullest vetting process.
