Volunteer in Costa Rica (ages 18+)

Costa Rica is a land of pristine natural beauty almost beyond compare. CCI offers adult participants the chance contribute to the effort to protect this precious natural legacy through environmental and social volunteer projects.

Depending upon the project you choose, accommodations are either with Costa Rican host families providing a single room or at volunteer housing on or near the project site.  Both options provide full board (3 meals per day).

Orientation

All volunteers will receive an orientation upon arrival in country by the highly trained staff in our partner office.

Language Requirement

Spanish skills are desirable but not necessary at all projects. (See each project description for details)

Dates

Participants can choose their own start and end dates to participate for 1-12 weeks. Please check with CCI for availability.
