This project welcomes enthusiastic travellers keen to give back to Costa Rica in a meaningful and memorable way. You’ll gain both personal and professional experience while supporting a low-income community. Our volunteer program is all about genuine contribution. It combines hard work, dedication, cultural exploration, and a mutual exchange of skills and knowledge.
The team behind the project is made up of bilingual tourism and education professionals with over 20 years of experience in Costa Rica. You’ll be supported by a mix of local and international staff who run the volunteer activities, cook up delicious and healthy meals, and make sure the accommodation and facilities meet your expectations.
We’re all about working hard and playing hard and we love sharing the laid-back “Pura Vida” lifestyle with our volunteers. Whether it’s tips on the best surf spots or insights into local culture, we’ll make sure you feel like part of the community. This is your chance to truly immerse yourself in Costa Rican life while contributing to long and short-term projects that support local families.
You’ll have the chance to get involved in one of four awesome volunteer projects:
You’ll work alongside a friendly, bilingual team to help improve the local community while also gaining hands-on experience. Whether you’re into conservation, sport, or teaching, there’s a project for you. And when you're not volunteering, you’ll be soaking up the Costa Rican lifestyle with tropical beaches, lush jungle, great food, and good vibes.
You’ll stay in a beautiful coastal village, with plenty of free time to go surfing, ride a bike, or just chill at the beach. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, connection, and impact. Plus, you can even earn valuable certificates along the way.
