Volunteering
March 28, 2026by: Sam Klomp - NetherlandsI got lucky because I was placed to a daycare, close to my housing. I had the best time staying with my host mother. She told the most amazing stories and we had so much fun. The food was amazing. The volunteering was also great. It was a good way to practise my Spanish, because the kids speak in simple words. It was a rewarding experience. On my last day I brought a gift and sweets and they really liked that. My last day was great. Maximo visited several times and they checked on us. A small thing, but important. I met a lot of nice people who took classes or did volunteering here. We went on trips and went went for drinks together. Overall, I am glad I did this! Unforgettable
Such an amazing experience!
March 14, 2026by: dilyn Engelhart - United StatesI would definitely recommend Máximo Nivel’s working with kids program. All of the employees at Máximo Nivel are so helpful and accommodating. Working with these kids was an amazing experience that I would do again
Growth: The Story of Selina in Costa Rica
March 14, 2026by: Selina Clay - United StatesMaximo Nivel has been nothing short of amazing to me and my group. This has pushed me in ways I’ve never known I could be pushed from leadership, to patience, to overcoming my fear of heights, and even trying new foods. Back home my food cannot touch but since I’ve been here, it hasn’t stopped touching and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve stepped out on faith and yall took me in with open arms. Thank you! I’m honestly so sad to leave.
