Jalawelo is managed and run by teams of dedicated volunteers. We are committed to the work we do, and we enjoy the relationships that we share with each other as we brainstorm and rub shoulders together to fulfill our mission. Our volunteer culture is an important part of our brand, and, as a result, we encourage individuals who want to engage with us to get to know us and to understand our commitment to love, humility, and healthy relationships as we serve Jamaica.
