Description
English is becoming increasingly important for the people in Costa Rica due to the rise in tourism. However, in many schools in Costa Rica, teaching is not comparable to European standards. In most elementary school projects, you will be deployed as support in English lessons. If you are committed and confident in the language, you will also be included in other subjects. You will be able to make children’s eyes light up with lots of self-made exercises and make learning fun. When working with children, it is important that you remain flexible and show initiative.
The tasks of the volunteers include:
- Looking after young pre-school and primary school children
- Helping out in the kitchen
- Supervising the children
- Organizing activities and entertaining the children with games and songs
- Teaching basic English and hygiene skills as well as social values.

Costa Rica - Country Information
Translated literally Costa Rica means rich coast and is also known as the ‘Switzerland of Central America‘. In the North, Costa Rica shares a border with Nicaragua and one with Panama in the South. Due to the number of national parks and the mostly untouched beaches Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers and surfers.
FAQ
FAQ
All programs can be booked with friends. If you would like to book a program as a group, we recommend that you enquire in advance. Each person must book the project individually.
Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in Costa Rica all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.
Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
During the language school and in the volunteering projects, you will always have a direct contact person to help you with any problems. Of course you can also always contact us.
