Community Programs

Community (Required Spanish Level: Intermediate)
No time constraint

Community Volunteer
Required Spanish Level: Advanced.
Project Special Requirements: Be very creative and a self-starter.

In this program you will immerse yourself in the activities of the community: working with local groups, communal associations, youth groups, and sports organizations. Your custom-made project will be a marriage of the needs of the community and your personal inspiration. Your goal will be to get your brainchild off the ground and once it’s up and running, hand over the responsibility to the community members with whom you’ve worked.

Communities in which we currently work:
Tárcoles community located at Puntarenas Middle Pacific Coast

Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
Required Spanish Level: Advanced.
Project Special Requirements: Keen perception, self-determination, excellent listening skills, (social workers, psychologists, nurses, or sociologists, are very welcome and encouraged).

In all parts of the world, women are faced with threats to their independence, health and well-being. They receive less education than men, have disproportionate household responsibilities, and are often faced with sexual and domestic violence. Gender equality, and the end to all kinds of violence against women, starts with the women as the agents and beneficiaries of change. Empowerment begins with a woman’s self-worth
