Itinerary
Costa Rica Work ProjectsGlobal Volunteers' unique philosophy of service ensures your work projects help advance the host community's current development vision and goals. Always serving at the invitation and under the direction of host community partners, each Global Volunteers team member works alongside local people, and personally contributes to needed project financing through their service program fee. Our long-term commitment to work in partnership on sustained community development projects enables you, in just a short time, to serve as a critical link in a chain of lasting community enhancements. Most of the work projects are labor-based and require light to heavy effort, such as constructing community centers or laying tile in a community health care center. Some childcare-related and tutoring assistance is also sometimes requested.
