The Caribbean Student Alliance was established in September, 2025 at Episcopal High School to bring Caribbean students and fans of the Caribbean together in an educational and celebratory space.

Almost 2 months after the group's formation, hurricane Melissa ravaged about twothirds of Jamaica causing, at a minimum, USD$6 billion worth of damage. Recognizing the need for assistance to their fellow citizens, Jacob Orelue '26 (pictured above) and Cole Brown '29, both from Jamaica, mobilized the group's members to begin the work of raising funds to help provide the basic goods that people were lacking. The group has completed a successful bake sale on the campus of Episcopal High School. Now they are moving on to the online portion of their fundraising plan.

100% of the funds raised goes to the cause without the expense of service fees as is common on some of the other platforms. All funds raised will be directed to relief efforts in the Parish of Trelawny, Jamaica ( which was also badly damaged but has received less attention to date in comparison to the neighboring parish of St. Elizabeth (landfall location). A Local non-profit, Food For The Poor, will lead the relief efforts on the ground.
