I'm so glad I did this!
March 28, 2026by: Lindsey Cutler - United StatesMy experience here was so incredible! From living with a local family to volunteering, I got the chance to be exposed to a whole different kind of life. The Maximo institute facilitated the experience the whole way and was very helpful with questions and concerns. Their Spanish teachers are also amazing!
Teaching and LEARNING!
January 24, 2026by: Bridget Quittner - United StatesI couldn’t have enjoyed this experience more. Maximo made every aspect of this a smooth transition. My setup at my host house was comfortable and provided everything I needed. I loved teaching at the church, these people truly changed me. Maximo Nivel, especially Viviana and Matt went above and beyond to make sure I was supported and able to get the most of my time here. It is very likely I will volunteer through Maximo Nivel again. My only complaint is I didn’t sign up to volunteer longer!
Amazing experience in Costa Rica
December 06, 2025by: Kim Ford - United KingdomIf you are looking to do something extraordinary and immerse yourself in a new culture I would highly recommend this program. Teaching has been fun, engaging, humbling and I’ve made some wonderful connections with my students. They are so happy to receive your help and I think I learned as much from them as they did from me.
