    Om programmet

    Green Life Volunteers currently works with a sanctuary located in Alajuela (Central Valley) near San Jose.

    As a volunteer on the wildlife rescue center you will help with the animal care, feeding, cleaning, rehabilitation, rescue, and release of animals. The mission of the wildlife sanctuaries in Costa Rica is to give the animals time to heal from their injuries and when they are ready, they will be released back into the wild. Some of the animals will be in the sanctuary for their entire life because they would not survive or they are too domestic.

    The wildlife sanctuary wants to provide a quality of life to the resident animals. The animals that are generally in sanctuaries in Costa Rica are sloths, raccoons, squirrels, macaws, parrots, anteaters, bird raptors, monkeys, toucans, and many more. Usually, the wildlife sanctuaries receive their donations from the entry fees of visitors.

    Wildlife Sanctuary Alajuela: The wildlife sanctuary in Alajuela has been moved from its original location in Limon. They have many different animals and believe firmly in rehabilitation and releasing animals. The sanctuary offers volunteer housing right on the property – shared mixed dormitory-type accommodation. Meals are prepared and cooked for volunteers.

     Volunteers responsibilities include:

    •       Preparing specific food mixtures for the animals
    •       Providing food, water and other nutrients to the animals
    •       Assist in the general maintenance and cleaning the enclosures, etc.
    •       Various maintenance work for the facility in general
    •       Giving tours to the visitors
    •       Becoming an animal handler
    Green life volunteers' position
    Green Life Volunteers expects volunteers and interns to respect the areas in which you are working as well as your project leaders, members of the community, and other volunteers/ interns. In case you are experiencing troubles or conflicts, we'd rather know sooner than later if there is anything that is not working for you and we want to make you as comfortable as possible. Having said that, we cannot stress enough that flexibility and being positive and open-minded will go a long way in ensuring an enjoyable volunteer or intern experience.

    Green Life Volunteers is available if you have any issues or need any help during your project. We are located in Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula. However, you can always call or email us. We take good customer service very seriously, and we want you to feel comfortable from the beginning till the end of your time in Costa Rica. We will provide you with a 24-hour emergency number that you can call from your project site in case you need to speak to a Green Life Volunteers staff. Our staff will check in on you throughout your stay. We will make sure no miscommunication errors are happening and we are there to explain and solve problems.

    We will also help you during your sign-up process to arrange your transport and arrival in San Jose! We will help you arrange airport shuttle pick-ups to the project location, or book a hostel for the first night, if preferred.

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    The wildlife sanctuary we work with is located in Alajuela, close to San José. It is therefore very easy to travel to San José and go sightseeing in Costa Rica's lively capital city!

    The wildlife rescue center also offers multiple free-time activities. There are weekly tours to different tourist destinations throughout the country. The tours include, but are not limited to, Jaco Beach where you can ride ATV’s and do Canopy Tours (zip lines), Manuel Antonio National Park where you can tour the rainforest or relax on the beach, the Monteverde Cloud Forest where you can enjoy the hanging bridges, and Arenal Volcano where you can submerge yourself in the warm, beautiful hot springs.

    The day of your tour you will wake up early and enjoy breakfast before jumping into one of the private buses. We will provide you with a lunch to take along and we will save you dinner for when you arrive back home safely. The pricing for transportation does vary and is announced at the beginning of the week.

    The Rescue Center charges a transportation fee but the tours are paid directly by you to the tour companies once you arrive at your destination. The tours are fun, safe, and will give you an up-close and exciting view of our amazing country and experience life as you never have before. They will leave you with lifelong memories.
