Costa Rica is a tropical paradise and 25 percent of the land is dedicated to helping preserve the earth's biodiversity. Costa Rica needs international volunteers to continue in its efforts to preserve and conserve its protected areas and species. We work with several partners that specialize in such conservation projects.
The other main area of our voluntary work in Costa Rica is education. Although public schooling is free for any child, some schools lack efficient resources. English language skills are needed to help students with not only the basics but conversational skills as well. uVolunteer acts as a supportive partner to these schools and communities.
Our volunteer projects in Costa Rica are based mainly in and around the central valley town of San Ramón, Alajuela. It is here you can actually see the usage of the phrase, "pura vida." It's a city with a strong community of people willing to help others in any way. We also offer volunteer opportunities all over Costa Rica through our local partnership network.
With its unofficial slogan, "Pura Vida," meaning pure life or peace, it gives you an idea of how the Costa Ricans perceive life surrounded by beauty, family, and friends! Volunteering in Costa Rica is an adventurous and unforgettable experience for a gap year, vacation, spring break or career break for groups and individual travelers.
