Agriculture Volunteering in Cuba

This program offers a full 8-week "All In" experience combining adventure and cultural exchange in Costa Rica and Cuba. Spend one month in each country embracing the lifestyle, enjoying the best activities, and making a positive impact by supporting local communities. Start in Costa Rica with Spanish classes, surfing, and yoga in the beach town of Santa Teresa, as well as an overland cloud forest exploration in Monteverde. Then, travel to Cuba to continue improving your language skills, enjoy some salsa dancing, participate in volunteer projects, and travel around the country to learn all about its history and culture. This is an ideal program for those seeking a blend of education, cultural immersion, and unique activities in two of Latin America's most vibrant countries. Plus, you get the chance to stay in a “jungle surf camp,” nestled in a paradise setting surrounded by wildlife. Imagine spotting a howler monkey hanging on a tree branch!

Spend a travel service learning week with GCAC, experiencing our vibrant island neighbor to the south, ever brimming with Afro-Cuban art and infectious rhythms. We’ll enjoy the best of both city and countryside as we explore Havana, Cuba’s capital and commercial center, and Viñales, a small western town surrounded by bucolic farms and picturesque mountains. Make music alongside student drummers from Cuba’s music schools and visit a working organic vegetable farm. From crystal waters and folkloric culture to classic cars and baseball, this mysterious tropical paradise has something for everyone.

Although home to more than 11 million people, Cuban culture has been shrouded in mystery to most North Americans because of the prolonged economic and political strain between the United States and Cuba. The Cuba People-to-people program pulls back the curtains on this Caribbean culture and gives volunteers a clear look at the beauties, struggles, and determination of the Cuban people. Cubanos are proud, educated, and often quite happy to share opinions. Isolated for years due to the "blockade" (as Cubans refer to the embargo the US imposed against the Communist state), their culture has been influenced by many, none perhaps as heavily as Spain, Africa, and the United States. Full of music, derelict buildings, joy, and sorrow, the country offers few material pleasures but immense humanitarian rewards. In stark contrast to North America, its southern neighbor also offers almost no material consumer goods. There has never been a more exciting time to take part in volunteer travel in Cuba! Imagine a culture where everyone is literate and has access to free medical care and no starving people. This is the Cuba of today.
