    Over het programma

    We do need helping hands to offer the kids individual help to families. As Costa Rica is still in online course, the kids do need your help. Many parents and families do not speak English and are not able to help the kids during online classes. We do offer volunteer placements at the beach and close to the city. We would be happy for long term volunteers but we are also very happy to receive you as a short term volunteer!

    You love children and you enjoy working with them? Then you are a perfect fit for our projects in Costa Rica. 
    There is a huge difference between our school system in Europe and the school system in Costa Rica. It is quite common that kindergarten and school are close to each other and sometimes they are even in the same building. Therefore you are going to have a variety in your operating range. In the vicinity of Santa Barbara there are 3 different schools and kindergartens where volunteers can help. Depending on your English level you will be placed with younger or older kids. Volunteers will assist the local stuff in all areas as you can see below.
     
    Speaking English is getting more and more important due to rising tourist numbers. Your job is going to be as a consultant for the English teachers in the schools where­ you are going to support them in their subject. If you are very confident with the language and you show 
    dedication you can also support other teachers in other subjects. Create small exercises for your students, make them smile while they are learning and think of appreciation in the children’s eyes. 

    How you can help:
    - Helping to teach children
    - Attending to and interacting with the children
    - Creating activities and entertaining the children with games and songs
    - Teaching basic English, hygiene and spiritual values
    - helping in the kitchen and other duties
    All volunteer places are in public schools. Children are between 6 and 14 years old.

    Holidays:
    In the end of June/Beginning of July each year are 2 weeks holidays. We are able to place you during this period in our day care center :)
    from middle of December till beginning of February schools are closed in Costa Rica.

    I loved my time in Santa Barbara in this program. The work was delightful and fulfilling, but it was a private (and bilingual) school, and the children I was teaching weren't the ones who would've needed it the most, I would say. That being said, I feel that I made a significant change and that my ...

    During my time in Uvita, I had the chance to meet regularly with 8 local children whose ages ranged from 6 through 12.
