A Costa Rican Adventure in Service

Volunteer amidst the vast cloud forests of Costa Rica! Engage in meaningful community projects with children, adults, teachers and students – a wide swath of Costa Rican society. Learn about daily life through the eyes of those who live it – in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. You’ll gain an “insider’s” perspective – and leave your own mark in Costa Rica.

Give. Explore. Care. Make Friends. Be a Global Volunteer.
Every day is a new adventure in service under the direction of our community partners. Make a significant difference tutoring students or helping with light “hands-on” labor projects. This is an ideal family, group and student service-learning program. Travel with us – a long-standing non-profit leader in worldwide volunteering.

And, consider this: Your program contribution ($2,995 – $3,195) and travel costs are tax-deductible! One- and two-week itineraries, including lodging, food, local transportation, project materials and a trained team leader are scheduled year-round. There’s no other experience like this to truly get to know the Costa Rican people and culture!
