What volunteer work in Costa Rica can I do?
We're looking for volunteers who will contribute to projects in communities where help is most needed.
At a one-to-one UK orientation interview we'll discuss your skills, experience and of course, preferences to ensure that you're assigned to the right project for you.
Volunteers are needed in a variety of project areas from teaching English in Costa Rica, community development and many more. Click on the links below to find a project you’re interested in.
How long can I go for?
Our Volunteer Costa Rica placements last for either 2 or 3 months.
You’ll have the chance to travel at weekends but to make the most of this exotic country/ Central America why not leave some time at the end of your programme to explore further afield?
Where will I be working?
Our Costa Rican projects are based in local communities all over the country in coastal, mountainous and city locations.
Who will I be working with?
We place volunteers in Costa Rica on existing projects, working alongside local people.
Our volunteer in Costa Rica programme is essentially designed to provide independent experiences which promote integration with the local people. You may also be working alongside another international volunteer.
Where will I be living?
As part of our ‘Local Approach’, we believe that living with a host family is the best way for volunteers to become fully immersed into the local culture.
It’s also the perfect way to improve your Spanish. You’ll be placed with a local family near to your project. As our projects are based all over the country, there are opportunities to live in rural villages or towns in the mountainous or coastal regions.
Your host will welcome you into their family and help you to settle into the local area. You might be living with another volunteer. Enjoying home-cooked food, sharing stories and life experiences will give you a unique and memorable experience and will provide you with a great opportunity to improve your Spanish.
