    À propos du programme

    Volunteers are placed in schools in villages at Costa Rica’s beautiful Pacific coast. The schools are typically very small, and usually only have around 15-30 students. There are some larger schools, however, with up to 150 students. Most of the schools you will work at only have 1-3 teachers and are for children between the ages of 6-12. The main subjects taught are math, Spanish, science and social studies. But also other subjects, like sports, art, music, dance, and theatre may be taught and are very popular with the children. Some schools also teach English, as it is becoming more important in Costa Rica. 

    Volunteers assist the teacher during class and help supervise the children. Extra classes that are taught by volunteers typically happen outside of mandatory school hours for children, so sizes of the classes may vary and require your creativity. 

    Since English is becoming increasingly important in Costa Rica, there is large interest in teaching English from young age on.

    Journée typique

    Volunteering in a Costa Rican school comes with a large portion of responsibility because you will be a role model to the students.

    There will be a volunteer coordinator who will help guide you through the activities according to the interests of the children, something that has worked well in the past. Even though there will be someone to help you, you should be able to plan and coordinate on your own with energy and creativity. Staying in close contact with teachers and parents is highly recommended so that you can gain as much knowledge as possible from your trip. 

    While you are working in one of the schools, your tasks may include: 

    • 2-4 hours per day of childcare, usually in the afternoon, but also some mornings
    • Preparing and carrying out English workshops 
    • Organizing sports and arts activities
    • Supporting teachers during classes
    • Administrative tasks at school 
    • Daily operational tasks at school
    • Maintaining, preparing, and supplementing teaching materials
    • Preparing and implementing school events
    • Participating in the recycling projects
    • Helping with playground construction and painting
    At some schools you can volunteer to assist the teacher in class during the morning hours between approx. 7:30 am to noon. However, at some schools volunteers mainly carry out projects with the children outside of regular school hours in the afternoons between 2 pm and 6 pm.

    Prepare yourself for the most sparse material equipment in schools. So you are challenged in terms of creativity and a talent for improvisation in order to make interesting offers for the children with few resources.

    You should enjoy working independently, have a good level of self-confidence, be curious, open-minded, communicative and cooperative and have the desire to make a difference.

    Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.

                                    An important part of our volunteer programs has always been to provide an intense glimpse into the culture of the host country.

You can immerse into local customs, taste typical meals, and experience the culture and traditions first-hand. You will quickly realize how much your Spanish skills improve each day. Our homestays are carefully screened and selected, and many hosts have years of experience with our international volunteers.

In most cases, the host lives in the same village where the school is located, or nearby and easily reachable.

To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

                                    Do you dream of staying abroad while doing something positive? Are you looking for a unique experience that will leave a mark on your life? Then a Volunteer Work program in South America or Central America is perfect for you!

                                    With South America Inside you can combine an adventure abroad with social commitment, and create lasting memories in Latin America. Support the protection of endangered species; help a local community construct new homes; give new hope to impoverished children.

                                    The possibilities to lend a hand are diverse, as there are the many places where help is needed. We have classified our volunteer projects in different areas so you can easily find the one (or more!) projects that best match your needs and interests.

                                    Why with us

                                    There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

                                    Our Insider benefits at a glance:

                                      Regional Experience
                                    Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

                                      Multifaceted Offers
                                    Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

                                      Insider Advice
                                    Despite living in the modern era of the internet, we know that reliable and competent advice is still an important criterion for most of us. At South America Inside, you will find the benefits of an internet provider and an independent travel agency. We will be glad to pass on our extensive knowledge and regional experience.!

                                    It is difficult to run programs when there is nobody “on the ground” to evaluate existing options and search for new opportunities. So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

                                      Independence
                                    South America Inside is an independent provider of language courses, internships, volunteer work, Farm Stays and Work & Travel programs in Latin America. We neither depend financially nor structurally on any other company, language school, association or organization. Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

                                    •  Multilingual Team

                                    Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese. With our customers, we can communicate in their native language and we avoid misunderstandings with local partners by communicating in Spanish with them. You can be sure that there will be an English-speaking contact person for you before, during, and after your stay.

                                      Customer Service
                                    Excellent customer service is one of the most important goals for South America Inside, and this is evident with the positive feedback we regularly receive from our many happy clients. Emails are answered within 48 business hours and every client is treated with the same friendliness and expertise.

                                      Gapless and Accurate Information flow
                                    With South America Inside you will have one and the same contact person before, during and after your trip. With that said, we guarantee a gapless and accurate information flow and you will always be very well informed.

                                      Approved Program Places
                                    Many of our program places, especially in the area of internships and volunteer work, are designed in the way that they will be recognized by most universities, colleges or academies.
