Sobre el programa

Did you know that every day an incredible amount of approximately 8 million pieces of trash end up in our oceans harming the sensitive marine flora and fauna?

Become an Eco Volunteer with us and take an active rol in beach clean up expeditions. Volunteers are the engine of this fantastic volunteer program. With their motivation and love for our planet they help to significantly reduce plastic pollution on the coastlines and the ocean of Costa Rica. The country’s name means “Rich Coast” and any visitor who has been to Costa Rica knows why. Costa Rica is sandwiched between the Caribbean coast and the Pacific cost and has countless of dream beaches, from calm coves to crashing surf, palm-fringed beaches to rocky coastlines. But even this paradise is not spared from man-made problems: Plastic and other trash is a major issue on Costa Rica’s coasts.

This volunteer program has been working very hard in the last past years to clear the beaches from plastic. Help to keep this important movement going and join our project!

Beach clean-ups expeditions are the cornerstone of the project's work to collect the most plastic and trash possible from beaches and rivers. Volunteers from all over the world support the mission to clean the coastlines from plastic pollution while having an awesome time doing it.

Recycling is only partially useful, as a vanishingly small proportion of only 9% of all plastic in the world is recycled. The rest of it ends up in oceans or goes into landfills. So, this is where our volunteer program makes another huge difference. The collected trash is not transported to landfills but sorted for upcycling purposes. Upcycling products range from concrete pavers and cement blocks to composite wood products and even asphalt. It is a win-win, as the plastic that is incorporated to these products reduces the amount of raw materials needed.

One of the newest successes of our volunteer program are Artificial Reefs. These are special structures that are installed just offshore in a local marine reserve, promoting coral growth. They also offer protection for fish and other marine species. Volunteers get hands-on experience constructing these artificial reefs and can observe them in the nearby ocean waters. This project is quite new but has had amazing results with fish and corals populating the structures.

Día típico

The main tasks are the important beach clean-up expeditions, that take place almost daily. Volunteers do not only participate in beach clean-ups, but also in the recycling process where they help classifying plastic for recycling and reusing. But walking the beaches every day can be tiring, so volunteers can also help in several ecological projects that are run by the organization, like planting trees, releasing baby turtles, building artificial reefs. Volunteers also support community & social projects and help with the upkeep like washing equipment, painting as well maintenance chores. 

The work schedule may change from Monday to Friday as the working hours depend on factors like weather, the tides, and current needs. Typically, the day starts with a good breakfast at about 7 am. Work shift usually starts at 7:30 am (as it is usual in Costa Rica) when it is still not hot. Work day ends in the early afternoon at about 4 pm with a long lunch break inbetween. Weekends are off unless there are corporate clean-ups where the volunteers are asked to help.

Actividades de tiempo libre

The volunteer camp, surrounded by lush nature, is located in the heart of the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, very close to Jaco Beach and only about 2 hours from San José. In their free time volunteers can enjoy plenty of different spare time activites, be it more active or more relaxing. The volunteer camp is surrounded by dream beaches that invite to sun bathe, swim and rest. In close proximity there are also National Parks and Natural Reserves where volunteers can go hiking, bird watching, wildlife observation, and visit amazing waterfalls. To name just a few more: snorkeling, bird watching tours, hiking, kayaking, beach volleyball, mini golf, beach soccer, yoga, tennis, table games, ping pong, visits to waterfalls, canopy/zip line, boat tours, surfing lessons, and so on….

Jaco Beach is very close. It is a popular vacation destination with visitors from all over the world. It is known for very good surfing spots, romantic beaches and a laid-back lifestyle. It is an ideal place for volunteering while enjoying the country’s “pura vida” life.
