What if 2026 were the year you stopped waiting and started doing? At the VN Center in northern Costa Rica, you can make 2026 a year filled with purpose, learning, and transformation. You can volunteer alongside rural migrant and refugee families and be part of something important and long-lasting. As a VN volunteer, you will support health initiatives, tutor, assist women in rebuilding livelihoods, or support children through art, crafts, sports, and recreation programs. VN is not about charity. It is about long-lasting partnerships with communities. It is about treating people with dignity and respect, listening to their stories, and building community together. Each month brings opportunities to connect with communities. Join us to learn, grow, and explore!
