    À propos du programme

    Our program empowers volunteers to gain professional and personal experience while helping children from a low-income community learn English. 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 of yesteryear with empty beaches, roadside ceviche shacks, and endless miles of stunning beaches and vibrant tropical jungle. Volunteers not only get to know and work with local Costa Rican families, but truly experience the Pura Vida lifestyle that attracts so many travelers to this peaceful nation. Our experienced staff and public school teachers will train you on effective English teaching skills so you are prepared to deliver engaging language lessons. Your work will directly impact the livelihood of locals who are dependent on tourism and parents who are eager for their children to speak English - both at the WeVOL project site and in the public primary school.

    Immerse yourself in a Costa Rican community while supporting our long-term language learning project and the local public school and experience a unique opportunity to live closely and work with local families. 

    In addition, volunteers are encouraged to spearhead innovative teaching programs based on their skills and experience. WeVOL accepts volunteers 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 extreme sports by enrolling in Surf School, going horseback riding, kayaking, and more exciting area excursions.
