Special
Notice for Costa Rica Volunteer
Programs:
The two-week
Spanish Language and Cultural
Orientation training course
is required for volunteers who
are not fluent in Spanish.
For volunteers
who are fluent in Spanish, the
one-week Cultural Immersion
Program is required.
No Spanish
is required for the Mini-adventure
program.
Our volunteers
are able to help children in Costa
Rica's primary schools receive a better
education. In the Volunteer Costa
Rica Primary School project, volunteers
contribute their time and energy working
with younger children, especially
in teaching them basic English. Sometimes
additional help with games, drawing,
and other creative activities will
be needed.
Each class contains
about 35 children and very scant resources.
The children lack pens, pencils, and
paper. Consequently, the volunteer
should be creative to compensate for
the lack of materials. Volunteers
for this placement must be highly
motivated "self-starters"
who are able to work independently.
Working with these children in our
Costa Rica volunteer program will
give you the opportunity to share
your love and skill with those who
need it. As a bonus, you will have
free time to explore the cultural
and natural wonder of Costa Rica
