    Sobre o programa

    Agriculture forms more than a third of the population in South America. However, working environments are less than ideal and the ecological impact can be harmful. We work with NGOs and farming companies that use organic and sustainable practices in their farming methods, as well as traditional agricultural techniques. On this project you can assist on these projects and learn about eco-farming and sustainable agricultural techniques.


    You will get hands on, in this project that will require some hard labour.  You could volunteer at coffee farms, macadamia nut and permaculture farms or help to grow local tea and cacao in communal farming projects.

    Daily tasks can differ, depending on Spanish language ability (although this is not essential), responsibility level, and expertise. You will be supervised on the project and this supervisor will put you where you will best be placed.

    Location
    Volunteers work at offsite projects sites, located 3 to 4 hours outside the city of San Jose. You will likely be working near the Monteverde Cloud Forest or Brunca regions of the Talamanca mountains. These locations may not have reliable internet, but a phone is available in case of emergencies. Our local coordinators will check in with you by phone and in-person throughout your project. You will spend  the first 2 days in San Jose for orientation before your project starts.
