Qualifications

Education Program:
Location: Bebedero of Escazu, San Jose Costa Rica

This is a tiny school located in the mountains of Escazu. It is an elementary school, which means that the children's ages range from 6 - 12 years old. The natural beauty because of its location can be easily seen from the stunning views of Escazu and San Jose city. This is a good place for creative volunteers because the staff is completely open to volunteers creating their own curriculum and activities to be taught to the children.

Volunteer tasks include teaching English, reading story books, creating fun educational games, accompanying the children during possible field trips and helping the local staff in any means possible. Teaching experience is not necessary, but a pro-active spirit is required. Some of the activities you will be asked to participate in: Help at the cafeteria at lunchtime, Play with the children during their break times.
