Overview
Help build and renovate low income housing, schools and community centers. Are you handy? Volunteer in construction in Costa Rica and get your hands dirty by building and renovating in low-income communities.
As a volunteer in Costa Rica, you will be building or renovating schools, community centers and houses in impoverished communities. If you have experience in construction you will be assigned specific tasks, but if you don’t you will be assisting staff or more experienced volunteers in the project.
The construction program in Costa Rica is great for people who like working in teams and doing manual tasks. As a volunteer in construction, you could be painting, mixing cement, laying bricks, cutting wood, moving earth, drilling, and more. You don’t need to have previous experience, but if you know construction or renovation it certainly helps. If you have any specific skills related to construction let us know so we can add a note on your previous experience.
The specific work varies depending on the priorities at the moment you arrive, and what is being built or renovated at the moment. Most of the work is outdoors and requires volunteers to be somewhat physically fit and be able to cope with dusty and sunny conditions regularly.
