The Boston Beach Culture Center takes an holistic approach to providing children and youth with a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow, learn, and thrive.
Student needs are identified and met through a multi-disciplinary and individualized approach.
We are looking for motivated and flexible people that can help with the children. We are always looking for new ideas and if you have some talent in music, arts or other we would be very happy for you to share this talent with the kids. There is a skate park on site and much help is needed in instructing the children so bring a board!
We are also always looking for workers who can help with gardening and DIY.

You will be staying in Boston Bay very close to the beach. You will experience the real Jamaican experience as there are very few tourist around this area. Working with the children from the neighborhood will give you a real insight into their life.
The work is very varied but involves mostly working with kids 10-15 from 3-6 pm from Monday to Friday. There is a skate park on site and experienced boarders are invited to help instruct eager children. Other work arises depending on what is needed.

You will be staying between the "Volunteer House" and the "Playfield House" we all sleep and live at both in the sharing the houses with other volunteers. The Volunteer house was just recently renovated and you will have your own room with shared bathroom and kitchen. Both houses have a privileged view of the sea!
