Geology Programs in Costa Rica

Join the Construction and Renovation program in San José, Costa Rica with International Volunteer HQ and help support community development while experiencing life in a vibrant Central American city. Volunteers work on projects such as building or renovating community centres, schools, or local infrastructure in under-resourced neighbourhoods. This placement is ideal for individuals interested in hands-on work, practical contributions, or development projects abroad. Your hosted volunteer experience includes airport pick-up, a full orientation, accommodation in a volunteer house or homestay depending on placement, two meals per day, and 24/7 support from the local team. Before departure you receive guidance from your IVHQ Program Manager and access to training tools to help you feel prepared for your role. Programs begin every Monday. Volunteers join an international community of like-minded travellers and have opportunities to explore Costa Rica’s rich culture, urban life, and natural surroundings while making a tangible difference through construction and renovation work.
