Costa Rica's Most Popular Internships: 67 Options
Costa Rica is a personal favorite of IGS staff members and a location we are all too happy to nudge students looking to practice their Spanish. In the capital city of San Jose, previous participants have worked at a language school where they assisted in the classroom and tutored children. One of our law students requested work in a bilingual law office in the downtown area and we secured a terrific litigation attorney for her. In the highlands of Monteverde, past interns have assisted a rainforest education institute that serves visiting school groups. They helped the local staff educate visitors on the dynamics of what makes a cloud forest unique. Our internship program includes a range of activities such as guided night excursions in search of tree-dwelling ocelots (wild cats) and monstrous tarantulas. Some participants enjoyed rafting through the Pacuare River, a well-reviewed travel spot. One student called it the journey of a lifetime. A side trip to La Fortuna Volcano is sure to produce some excitement while witnessing New World monkeys and some of the world’s most poisonous snakes.

i loved the traditions
December 19, 2020by: Yeiji S - South Koreai and my co-interns are given work on research and digital marketing. we worked with a bunch of interesting people that are not just experts on their fields, but also fun to be with. after our long day, we eat out with officemates. our favorite place is in cocina eclectica in San Jose, capital city. i was there in the winter months of December and so we also participated in their christmas celebrations and exchange gifts. i love the traditions!
Strategic first step before I officially start my law school (hopefully in Harvard) in the next year
December 19, 2020by: Mister Samuel F. Croft - United StatesI am an aspiring attorney. Law is my ultimate passion and childhood dream, even. Henceforth, I asked the respectable Mr. Adams to look for a legal internship for me, which specifically concerns criminal defense. I am beyond grateful for the IGS staff and mentors that communicated with me. I am now more aware of legal concepts and terms. This is a strategic first step before I officially start my law school (hopefully in Harvard) in the next year.
