In our Volunteer
Costa Rica project, you may choose
to volunteer in one of several different
communities located in various areas
of Costa Rica. You will have the freedom
to develop one or more mini projects
for your chosen community, while developing
deep friendships with the people of
the community.
However, you won't
face this challenge alone. During
our Volunteer Training, we will help
you originate and plan ideas for mini
projects. Then, we will teach you
how to develop, support, and carry
out your plans.
Two very different
areas have been addressed by mini-projects
in the past:
1. Ecological and
environmental protection and conservation
work
2. Community support,
and social and educational projects
In this amazing program, immerse yourself
in different activities of your community,
working with local groups, community
associations, youth groups, sports
and others. You will return home at
the end of your volunteer project
with an outstanding appreciation and
understanding of the Costa Rican people
and their culture, and the knowledge
that you personally have had a marked
influence on the quality of life of
the people in your chosen Costa Rican
community.
