Overview

Immerse yourself in authentic Costa Rica through volunteering with VN Abroad. Live local culture, language, and daily life by supporting children's groups, women's initiatives, and immigrant and refugee communities. With 20+ years of experience aiding vulnerable populations, we offer unique volunteer and cultural immersion opportunities for individuals and student groups. Through this, we promote social justice and community development.

Volunteers stay with homestay families or eco-lodges, engaging in daily rural Costa Rican life. Projects range from after-school clubs, English classes, and tutoring to women's organic gardens, community gardens, and soup kitchens. When not volunteering, explore Costa Rica authentically with cooking classes, traditional dance, community visits, and journeys to hidden natural wonders few tourists discover.
