- Grenada
About Program
Grenada is a small volcanic island, it has many amazing beaches and is host to the Grand Etang rainforest. Grenada is known as the Island of Spice due to its high production of nutmeg. Elvira's Garden has 2 locations in the South of the island in 2 of the 6 Parishes, St David's and St George's.
Our volunteers gain hands-on experience with day-to-day "local" life in Grenada and contribute massively to the impact of young people. Volunteers get the opportunity to educate and build social skills of young people within our Youth Centre, gaining an insight into the agriculture of Grenada and participating in our many avenues of fundraising within the local community.
We have space for volunteers all year round, with April, July & August being our key months when working with children. August is also a key month for bar and chef work as that is when Grenada celebrates carnival. Volunteers have the option to work in many different departments due to how expansive our project is.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
