Voluntary Work

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to a community and gain experience and personal growth. You can do it for a few weeks, but a year is also possible. We offer different kinds of programs.

We have several volunteer projects to choose from. Some positions ask for a minimum time commitment and students may cover or search their own room and board. Meanwhile, other positions cover everything. Sometimes you need relevant work experience and/or a degree. Information about specific placements is available upon request.

We offer voluntary projects in the following fields

Our program is designed for everyone who is interested in working and living in Costa Rica for a while. If you have a specific need, you can always ask us if it is possible. The various projects are related to:
