Costa Rica Volunteer Program for Teens

Travel to Costa Rica this summer for a teen community service program you won’t forget! Work alongside some of our long-standing service partners on projects such as taking part in a community infrastructure project in the Central Valley. This Costa Rica student trip uses a service-learning framework tailored for high school students, where our staff provide guidance and reflection on the impact of the work we do throughout the program and promote the value of empathy and cultural sensitivity. When not volunteering, you’ll be off on amazing adventures like learning to surf, zip-lining over the forest canopy, enjoying a whitewater rafting adventure and more! It won’t be long until you will fall in love with all things Costa Rican and the Pura Vida lifestyle.
