Our program includes "learning & volunteer experiences" they will never forget!

Aside from the wonderful extraciricular activities, students have the opportunity to be involved with the following rewarding opportunties:

Volunteer at public schools in economically depressed areas.
Each volunteer works with a group of 7-12 year-old students.

Activities include: teaching basic English to the children, singing songs in Spanish and English, maintaining the school's facilities, and working in the school's vegetable garden with the children.

Environmental protection
This project takes part in a national park close to Heredia.

Students help park staff with reforestation, building and maintaining trails, and protecting wildlife. Students participate in seminars about park rangers’ jobs, problems they face, resources they have to protect the environment, and the efforts the national parks system makes to preserve Costa Rican nature.

Orphanage for Children
Work with girls in an orphanage aged 4 to 11.

Activities for participants involve recreation, support to the orphanage’s English teacher (teaching songs and vocabulary), and help with cleaning and maintenance.

Nursing Home - helping seniors
This is a nursing home where senior citizens go for the day only.

Students help with recreational activities, such as playing cards and bingo, singing songs, and helping women with their make-up. Further activities include helping the staff serve meals.

Recycling project
This project takes place in a neighborhood where the residents have organized a center where people bring recyclables to be sorted before sending them to recycling centers.

Students sort these recyclables and participate in lectures about the consequences of pollution to the environment and future generations. Students also learn how they can help prevent pollution and reduce the amount garbage they throw away.
