Who We Are
Jamaica Ambassador Programs (JAP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Eveth Colley in 2011, inspired by her experiences growing up in Flower Hill, Jamaica. Witnessing firsthand the challenges faced by underserved children and the transformative power of education, Eveth established JAP to provide financial and educational support to those in need. Flower Hill was chosen as our starting point due to its significant needs and potential to serve as a model for future expansion. This vibrant community embodies our mission: to uplift underprivileged children and lay the foundation for prosperous, empowered communities.
We envision a future where every child has the tools and support to build a successful life. Over the next five years, JAP aims to expand our reach to additional communities in Jamaica, establishing a strong foundation for regional impact across the Caribbean.
Your support can make a lasting difference by funding education, providing meals, and offering essential resources that empower children to achieve their full potential.

Get Involved
By contributing to Jamaica Ambassador Programs, the minds of students will be stimulated for learning as we support them with school supplies, establish library services and reading programs, such as book clubs, career programs/guidance, and scholastic incentives. These programs and activities are designed as vehicles to transport the minds of these residents to bring about the change from poverty towards prosperous and vibrant communities.
