What does an average ACE mission trip look like?

Agenda items may include

construction projects
painting projects
activities at a school
farm work
ACE Mobile Infirmary
facilitating a thrift shop sale
and many more opportunities to work in, with and for the community.

There will be an “off-day” opportunity, usually a beach or other relaxing activity, toward the end of your week; teams must bring $45 per person in cash to participate. This is a perfect way to end a week of hard work!

MEDICAL MISSIONS

By partnering with medical groups from the US, ACE holds quarterly medical clinics throughout the parish. In working with the Jamaican Ministry of Health, our teams are able to make regular visits to the government clinics, enabling these communities to receive the care and treatment they so desperately need. By holding regular clinics, the health problems of the communities are treated regularly therefore decreasing the acuteness of the illnesses.

Our trips run Saturday to Saturday and the cost is $850 per person for the entire week; Please note starting January 1, 2025, this price goes up to $899 per person. This includes your stay and food at Galina Breeze Hotel, transportation to and from the airport, organized medical clinics, 24-hour security, and transportation to and from the clinic sites. (Free day activity is an additional $35 that you will need to have with you on the island) Airfare is not included. Please note that this is a group rate and is based on 4-6 per room. If you need a private room and there is availability (determined by ACE and the hotel), you may have one for an additional $25/night for double occupancy, $50 for single occupancy.

We need both medical and non-medical volunteers to make these clinics work!
