It was an unforgettable experience!
March 15, 2026by: Jillia Northern - United StatesI had so much fun and learned so much, even though I was only in Costa Rica for a week. From walking through the Monteverde Cloud Forest, to volunteering at La Finca, I really enjoyed it all. I would 10/10 recommend this program and do it all again!
Living Life with Purpose
March 15, 2026by: Gina Battle - United StatesProgram: Accredited Service Learning—Costa Rica | Guatemala | Peru
The service learning trip to Costa Rica instilled a greater love for agricultural and eco sustainability. I conquered one of my greatest fears by completing the hanging bridges hike. I highly recommend to everyone to see Costa Rica though the eyes of the local people. Pura Vita!
This was an amazing experience, made great especially by staff
March 15, 2026by: Janie Sills - United StatesProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
I came to Costa Rica on a volunteering trip with my university for eco-tourism learning. The farm that we volunteered at had us engaged with the work and really helped understand the work and somewhat the living of the people in the area. The places that we were lodged were great as they were comfortable but didn’t feel like some fancy hotel that was meant for tourists. The staff that accompanied us, Matt, was really helpful in translating and keeping us on schedule and informing us about the area. I think they did a great job of making this trip about learning was still involving fun activities that gave us a look at Costa Rica’s flora.

Participated in 2018
After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.
