Many potential volunteers ask us for more detail about what they would be doing as part of our volunteer program here in Costa Rica. That, of course, really depends on which project you would be participating in.
We also do a lot of customizing of the volunteer schedule based on the goals of the volunteer. Some volunteers choose to fill up their day with as many hours of projects as possible, where others want to volunteer a minimum amount of time so they can take advantage of the beach, tours or to just relax.
The “average” volunteer falls somewhere in the middle – giving about 4 to 5 hours a day of help and then finding plenty of time for recreational activities. So as you can see, it’s really impossible for us to give you an exact description.
To try and create a general picture for you, we have written some sample scenarios and schedules with descriptions and photos. Please click on the links below to view more information about each scenario:
Of course, we have many projects to choose from and can’t create a scenario for each one. But we believe if you take a look at these samples, you’ll have a much better idea of what you can expect once you arrive.
As always, if you have any questions at all, just contact us for more information. We hope to see you soon!
