    Om programmet

    Our program empowers athletes, coaches, and trainers to gain professional and personal experience by leading sports practices, trainings, workshops, and lessons for kids living in a low-income community. WeVOL is located on the pristine Matapalo beach just fifteen minutes north of Dominical and thirty minutes south of Quepos-Manuel Antonio. 

    Known for its beautiful beaches, lush jungles, and laid back culture, Costa Rica is consistently a top choice for eager globetrotters. Matapalo evokes the Costa Rica from years ago with empty beaches, roadside ceviche shacks, and endless miles of stunning beaches and vibrant tropical jungle. Sports Coaches not only get to know and work with Costa Rican children who are motivated to train and practice, but truly experience the Pura Vida lifestyle that attracts so many travellers to this peaceful nation. Our experienced staff will train and support you on effective communication and instructional skills, so you are prepared to deliver engaging activities. 

    WeVOL accepts sports coaches and leaders who are traveling solo, partners, groups, and families. Volunteers receive a certificate of completion for service hours worked. If you are interested in getting even more active, we encourage you to seek new and exciting extreme sports by enrolling in Surf School, going horseback riding, rafting or kayaking, and more exciting area excursions.

    Afhentning i lufthavnen i Juan Santamaria International Airport

    All participants fly into SJO International Airport and based on your arrival time, you may taxi from SJO airport directly to the Tracopa bus terminal or spend your arrival night at a nearby hostel and take the bus in the morning. We will be in constant communication together to make all needed arrival plans using WhatsApp.


    Prior to your arrival, we will have communicated and you will have your bus ticket in the form of a QR code using the Passer App. The bus trip takes about 4 hours and brings you directly to Playa Matapalo. The bus is comfortable with AC and makes a mid-way stop. The WeVOL team will meet you at the bus stop (about 3 minutes away from WeVOL) and bring you to the project site to meet everyone and check-in. 

    Indkvartering

    Our modern accommodations are designed to fit and blend in to our natural surroundings and tropical gardens. Relax and unwind as you hear the sounds of waves and wildlife. We have a mix of shared room lodging (no private rooms are available):

    • 5 cabinas (3-5 people) 
    • 1 studio apartment (6 people)

    The cabinas and apartment are comfortable with a mix of double, twin, and bunk beds and include all basic features needed to ensure a comfortable stay and total privacy during your down time. You will be placed in a room based on age, gender, and availability. Our rooms are comfortable, unique, and perfect to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica while relaxing in between surfing, skating, running around with the local kids, and exploring the area. We spend every afternoon enjoying the blazing sunsets and often share time with evening bonfires as the moon rises over the ocean. 

    • All rooms have a private bathroom and entrance.
    • We have outdoor showers and a communal and main kitchen, plus a restaurant on-site.  
    • Laundry service is available for a fee - all clothes will be cleaned and air-dried, there is no dryer but the sun and heat work well.
    WeVOL participants live in a tropical, coastal environment, it’s recommended that you bring:
    • Plenty of sunscreen and bug spray (you can purchase these here, but they are expensive). 
    • Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp. 
    • Don’t forget your swim suits and a rash guard. The weather is very hot, so pack light summer clothes.
    There are ATMs close-by and we will coordinate times when you need to withdraw cash. Most activities and tours can be paid with PayPal, but some required cash only and it is best to have cash for taxis around during your free time. We recommend you budget about $250 per week in cash and probably will not spend that much but can avoid any ATM and bank fees.
