    Take an active role in child development and education. Help disadvantaged children in a rural area, right at dream beaches. Get to know Costa Rica off the beaten tracks

    Sul programma

    This volunteer initiative is situated in the province of Guanacaste, in a rural area right on the Pacific. It works in the coastal communities of Playa Potrero and Playa Brasilito, where there is a dearth of resources and public services and exclusion of people, especially women, children, and socially marginalized groups, despite an economic boom brought on by rising tourist and foreign investment. Insufficient public education, joblessness, marginalization, aggression, and impoverishment hinder individuals from capitalizing on the economic prospects in the area.

    The goal is to stop the cycle of poverty and violence and help adults and children attain economic stability by offering comprehensive educational and community development initiatives. Children from low-income families can spend their spare time learning, playing, and exploring at the community center. Because many of them come from challenging backgrounds marked by domestic violence or are members of immigrant families from Nicaragua, they also find that someone is listening to their difficulties.

    In addition to English lessons, the program offers various age groups (4-6 years, 7-9 years, 10- 12 years, and teenagers) tutoring in math, reading, writing, and homework support, sports, games, and creativity (art, talent shows, etc.), career guidance for teens, health education, preventing violence (youth and interfamilial), environmental workshops, and much more.

    The center is also dedicated to the general and professional development of the community, as evidenced by the various programs it offers, including adult education, adult English classes, women's self-defense, adult sports, local women's economic development, adult sports programs, a donated computer lab, and community-wide events.

    Volunteers who are tolerant and open-minded are needed for this volunteer program. There is a lot to do, regardless of your abilities in athletics, the arts, listening, presenting, teaching, or tackling. Positive outlook, tolerance, readiness to assist, empathy, and adaptability are what matter.

    Giornata tipica

    You have the exceptional chance to learn more about moral and appropriate voluntary work as a volunteer. Your talents and knowledge will benefit the local community even after you finish your volunteer job. In addition to helping local families and kids, you also advance the area's economy.

    This project has a wide range of tasks. The volunteers can assist with adult education and general community work in addition to their primary support of the children's programs. The majority of the work with the kids happens in the afternoon, which frees up the morning for other pursuits.

    Volunteers work Monday through Friday. When the kids get home from school in the afternoon (between 1:00 and 6:00 p.m.), this is when the majority of the work gets done. Mornings can also be used for administrative tasks, event planning, beach clean-ups, and other activities.

    Tasks that could be assigned include:

    • English language instruction for kids or adults
    • Kids' homework assistance and tutoring
    • Adult computer education
    • Kids' and adults' physical education (ball games, Zumba, surfing, swimming, etc.)
    • Children's and teens' artistic workshops
    • Organizing an event
    • Beaches clean-ups
    • Assistance with women's vocational training programs
    • Support for fundraising
    • Support for administration
    • Control over social media platforms

    Note: There may be variations in the tasks. The quantity of volunteers, the climate, the time of year, the project's present requirements, and self-motivation are some of the variables that affect them. Maybe not every volunteer will take on all of these responsibilities.

    Attività del tempo libero

    The volunteer program is located in a paradise: Playa Potrero, a little coastal hamlet in the northwest of the country, immediately on the Pacific Ocean, about 30 minutes' drive north of Playa Tamarindo, a well-known tourist destination (Guanacaste). About 140 kilometers separate it from San Jose, the capital. Above all, this area is known for its stunning bays, peninsulas, and white sand beaches, some of which are the most beautiful, least frequented, and most isolated in the entire nation.

    This region includes well-known national parks including Rincon de la Vieja, Santa Rosa, Monteverde, and Arenal. Guanacaste is the most truly representative of the ancestral cultural legacy (a blend of Spanish and Chorotega culture) in all of Costa Rica. The horse and cattle ranches, where the "Sabaneros" with their horses, big white sombreros, and lassos define the everyday picture, are the characteristic places in the coastal hinterland where people live. Guanacaste is often known as "the Wild West" of Costa Rica because of this.

    Diverse recreational pursuits can be found in the neighboring Tamarindo area, including kayaking, surfing, sailing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, horseback riding, golfing, hiking, and mountain biking. There's a peaceful hideaway for people who just wish to unwind on the gorgeous beach. In the nearby national parks and private reserves, nature enthusiasts can investigate the tropical plants and animals. Tamarindo offers an appealing nightlife that includes restaurants, bars, discos, live music, and even a casino, so night owls get their money's worth.

    This area experiences year-round sunshine and quite comfortable temperatures, which range from 22°C to 34°C. Even though there is a lot of sunshine throughout the dry season, the shore always seems delightfully fresh because to the constant breeze from the north.

    Incontra il tuo ospite

    South America Inside is an intercultural management agency, founded back in 2003, which specializes in the promotion of programs abroad, language travel and educational programs throughout Latin America.

    Since 2007, to enrich the experience of our global-minded clients and to provide them with even more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding their program offerings throughout South and Central America.

    Working together with some of the best language schools in Latin America, South America Inside provides high quality language courses in almost every Latin American country.

    Thanks to a professional team of motivated and friendly staff, South America Inside has been very successful over the past several years and have been able to establish an outstanding network of what we call "Insider Contacts." To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

    Volunteer Work

    Do you dream of staying abroad while doing something positive? Are you looking for a unique experience that will leave a mark on your life? Then a Volunteer Work program in South America or Central America is perfect for you!

    With South America Inside you can combine an adventure abroad with social commitment, and create lasting memories in Latin America. Support the protection of endangered species; help a local community construct new homes; give new hope to impoverished children.

    The possibilities to lend a hand are diverse, as there are the many places where help is needed. We have classified our volunteer projects in different areas so you can easily find the one (or more!) projects that best match your needs and interests.

    Why with us

    There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

    Our Insider benefits at a glance:

      Regional Experience
    Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

      Multifaceted Offers
    Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

      Insider Advice
    Despite living in the modern era of the internet, we know that reliable and competent advice is still an important criterion for most of us. At South America Inside, you will find the benefits of an internet provider and an independent travel agency. We will be glad to pass on our extensive knowledge and regional experience.!

      Location
    It is difficult to run programs when there is nobody “on the ground” to evaluate existing options and search for new opportunities. So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

      Independence
    South America Inside is an independent provider of language courses, internships, volunteer work, Farm Stays and Work & Travel programs in Latin America. We neither depend financially nor structurally on any other company, language school, association or organization. Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

    •  Multilingual Team

    Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese. With our customers, we can communicate in their native language and we avoid misunderstandings with local partners by communicating in Spanish with them. You can be sure that there will be an English-speaking contact person for you before, during, and after your stay.

      Customer Service
    Excellent customer service is one of the most important goals for South America Inside, and this is evident with the positive feedback we regularly receive from our many happy clients. Emails are answered within 48 business hours and every client is treated with the same friendliness and expertise.

      Gapless and Accurate Information flow
    With South America Inside you will have one and the same contact person before, during and after your trip. With that said, we guarantee a gapless and accurate information flow and you will always be very well informed.

      Approved Program Places
    Many of our program places, especially in the area of internships and volunteer work, are designed in the way that they will be recognized by most universities, colleges or academies.
