Be Part Of Island Impact
Join Our Voluntourism Program
Island Routes Caribbean Adventures has teamed up with a number of non-profit organizations to offer extraordinary voluntourism experiences for travelers across the Caribbean. Full-time students who chose to participate can earn up to 10 community service hours for their time. But best of all, the projects chosen all positively impact the local communities in which they operate.
Embark On A
Reading Road Trip
This heartfelt journey is more than just about reading a story; it's about giving children a renewed excitement for learning. Visit a local school, where you'll be paired with a small group of students, ages 5-7 years old, for a morning of 'edu-tainment' focused on improving their reading, listening and comprehension skills. You'll take home humbling memories from the heart and leave behind a lasting impact!
Pack For A Purpose
Island Routes partnered with the Sandals Foundation are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination.
