Local Volunteers

Join Us as a Local Volunteer in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

We welcome Costa Ricans and foreigners with strong ties to the Talamanca region who want to give back and build long-term relationships with their community.

Whether you come once a month or once a week, we value consistency and commitment. We’re looking for volunteers who are dependable, culturally grounded, and excited about being part of a collaborative and compassionate team. Spanish proficiency is a plus, but for certain tasks may not be required.
