This program is perfect for teens who want to learn about conservation efforts and contribute! You will travel to the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Costa Rica, working with like-minded peers to protect the country’s sea turtle population. 

Healthy oceans need sea turtles to help maintain their complex ecosystems. Every day will be different as you assist with various conservation tasks such as scientific research, egg incubation, and mangrove preservation. Afternoons and evenings will be just as hands-on and unique, with activities like harbor patrol, hatchling rescue, and collecting and re-burying sea turtle eggs. There is so much to do as you help protect this endangered species.

Outside of volunteering, you will experience incredible adventures—from ziplining to a sunset catamaran snorkel cruise. Your volunteer program in Costa Rica will be forever memorable and impactful!
