International Leadership Opportunity in
Jamaica
Reply to: leadership@nouvelocity.com
The Riverton
Camp and International Leadership Exchange is an endeavor that
provides opportunities for youth to develop their skills by
extending leadership training at an international level.
A
group of skilled Canadian youths travels to Kingston, Jamaica to
work with children in a very needy community known as Riverton.
Participants stay in a very safe neighborhood of Kingston. While
working in Riverton, the volunteers run a Leadership Program for
boys and girls 15 years of age. The focus of the program brings 20
Riverton children to a camp setting in St. Anne’s Bay, Jamaica
where the Canadians offer their counseling skills at a 5-day
Riverton Camp. This camp experience provides the children of
Riverton with respite from the rigors of their daily life, a
chance to be children, to swim, play and be involved in community
and social conscience building activities. More importantly, the
Riverton Camp gives these children, who have never previously left
Riverton, a chance to broaden their horizons and to develop hope
for a brighter future.
We invite individuals with
leadership or camp counseling skills to participate in the
Riverton Camp in Jamaica this summer.
Dates of trip: July
28 – August 7, 2008
Cost of trip: $1,850.00 all in
(airfare, land transportation, food, accommodation)
Participants
traveling to Jamaica will need a valid Canadian passport.
