This is more than a trip to Jamaica. It is a journey home.

Discover Jamaica beyond the beaches and resorts and connect with the history, culture, people, and traditions that shape your Jamaican heritage. Walk through the streets of Kingston and hear the stories of your ancestors. Stand where enslaved Africans first arrived. Learn about emancipation and the resilience of the Jamaican people. Step into Maroon history, taste traditional Jamaican food, experience reggae and dance, explore the Blue Mountains, swim beneath waterfalls, and connect with local communities.

Give back through meaningful service, learn traditional cooking and farming, and build friendships with young people who share your connection to Jamaica.

Discover where you come from. Leave with a deeper connection to who you are.

This is your opportunity to:

• Discover the history and heritage behind your Jamaican roots

• Experience Jamaica through its people, communities, music, food, and traditions

• Give back through meaningful community service

• Learn about African heritage, slavery, emancipation, and the resilience of the Jamaican people

• Taste and prepare authentic Jamaican food

• Dance to reggae and experience the rhythms of Jamaica

Come curious. Come ready to serve. Come ready to explore. Come home to Jamaica — and leave with a deeper understanding of where you come from and a stronger connection to who you are.
