About the Project
Since its inception in 2011, Give & Surf has strived to provide equal access to education for the indigenous communities of Bocas del Toro. Due to the isolated nature of some of these village communities, they have limited access to school and thus Give & Surf offers preschool, after-school, and summer camp programs to supplement the education provided by the public government. We now serve over 500 students weekly in our community centers and preschools in eight communities on five islands and continue to grow each year!
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers have the unique opportunity to be immersed in the local island communities and assist with our preschool and after-school programs. Week days typically consist of a half day of volunteering as an assistant teacher/instructor with one of our preschool or after-school programs and the remaining time is free to explore and enjoy the beautiful Bocas islands. Volunteers are encouraged to share their passions and talents and help plan activities for children to participate in including arts & crafts, sports, field trips, and more! Groups of volunteers are also welcome to come and often help with special projects such as the construction of a new playground or school.
Discover Boscas del Toro
Weekends and half of each weekday are free for volunteers to enjoy everything Bocas del Toro has to offer, including surfing, diving, hiking, biking, or just relaxing on the beautiful beaches! An option for volunteers is to experience Bocas del Toro by riding waves big or small. We wish to share our passion of surfing with you when you come to the islands. If surfing does not interest you. Don't worry there is a lot more to experience in Bocas del Toro. Many of our volunteers enjoy the region for its amazing beaches, hikes, and activities. If you are not an experienced surfer, no worries. We offer the opportunity to learn how to surf or surf world class waves when volunteering with us. One surf lesson is provided upon request to each volunteer. Volunteers are given the opportunity to surf during their free time and when the work schedule accommodates take trips to different surf breaks. We have a world of knowledge and years of experience in the ocean and Panama.
Typical day
On weekdays, you will spend a half day volunteering. This includes assisting the lead teacher with a variety of activities and lessons. Each volunteer's role may be slightly different based on their previous experience working with kids, knowledge of Spanish, and length of stay. We encourage volunteers to stay at least one month if possible to truly be immersed and experience everything Bocas has to offer! Free time is spent surfing, swimming, hiking, biking, spearfishing & more... as long as you love the water & outdoors, Bocas has something for you! Whether it’s assisting our teachers lead an activity or designing a new program to serve an unmet community need, your help will improve the lives of all the children and families we serve!
