Sea Turtle Conservation Volunteering in Nicaragua

Become a part of our conservation effort on a remote beach in Nicaragua, where sea turtle eggs have been harvested ever since. Local families rely on the income they generate by selling eggs on the market. That's why we pay for most of the nests we protect in our hatchery. Our ecologically built infrastructure is located within a virgin beachfront forest adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. We offer a dormitory-style cabin (accommodating a maximum of 4 people) with a shared toilet and shower, as well as a cozy community space with a well-equipped kitchen. Volunteers cook their own breakfast and lunch and enjoy a traditional dinner. Join us in Nicaragua, helping physically (with the workload) and financially. The more people come and stay, the more we can protect as a community. Expect to help with daily chores such as hatchery management, nest relocation, maintenance, gardening, and more. It is important for us to give you enough free time to explore and enjoy the natural setting. We also have a weekly activity schedule with workshops, crafts, courses, and fun trips (optional but included in the price). This program is also open to students seeking internship opportunities.

My overall experience was excellent! I really felt like a family in the community through our various community service activities such as painting houses, releasing baby sea turtles, teaching English to the local kids, and participating in beach clean ups. I really enjoyed feeling welcomed into the country by the locals and not simply feeling as a disconnected tourist. Nicaragua is a beautiful country and I am so glad GIVE allowed me the opportunity to experience it in the way I did and really feel connected with the locals. If I were to have traveled on my own to Nicaragua, it wouldn't have been the same. All of the transportation (aside from flights) was taken care of by the organization which made the trip stress free! We went from a small fishing town Jiquilillo, to the City of Leon to Volcan Telica, to Cerro Negro, to Laguna de Apoyo, and ended it in Managua before we went home. I recommend traveling with give at least once in your life to truly experience the culture to where you're traveling to.
