Volunteering in Costa Rica

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." - St. Augustine

 Volunteering in Costa Rica is of those experiences you'll have trouble finding at a typical resort. Volunteering gives you the chance to authentically connect with people, animals and nature in a meaningful way that'll have a hold on your heart for years to come.

Volunteering opportunities in Costa Rica are abundant. And while many voluntourism companies exist to help organize and sell you on a program, we recommend contacting the organization you want to volunteer with directly, if at all possible.

As a general disclaimer, we have no association with any of the organizations below, nor have conducted any research into their practices ;)

Some volunteer programs in Costa Rica include:

• Costa Rica Animal Rescue Center
• La Fortuna Orphanage (Horgarcito San Bosco de la Fortuna)
• Homes of Life (Hogar de Vida)
• New Hope Volunteers
• The Fund for Costa Rica
• Leatherback and Pacific Green Sea Turtle Project Ostional
• Volunteer Base Camp
• Asociacion ANAI
• Earth Island Institute
• Earthwatch Institute
• Save the Turtles
• Sea Turtle Conservancy

And remember, you can save big on our condo in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica, during Green Season (April to October), with rates as low as USD $25 per night!!

Pura vida!
