AMIGOS offers students a transformative summer in Costa Rica, blending meaningful environmental action and deep cultural immersion. 

Participants can choose from three impactful project types: 1. Marine and Mountain Exploration, where students engage with climate change adaptation efforts, helping with sea turtle protection on the Caribbean coast to visiting significant archaeological sites. 2. Highlands Biodiversity, where students volunteer with women-led community organizations working to protect wildlife in the Brunca region and learning how farmers support conservation efforts. And 3. Eco-Tourism and Environmental Protection, where students experience Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity firsthand. Students will volunteer at an environmental conservation reserve and visit community entrepreneurship initiatives to learn about their conservation approaches.

Beyond the service, AMIGOS Volunteers have the incredible opportunity to live and interact with host families and local communities, allowing students to genuinely connect with Costa Rican culture, practice Spanish, and build lasting friendships!
