The experience

Since the schools in our remote area aren't great, we need someone who helps our team's kids with their school tasks.
You would be in charge from 7 to 11am on 5 days per week.
Since our team's kids speak mostly Spanish, it's necessary that you speak Spanish, too.
But they aso want to learn some English so it's great if you are speaking English also.

You will be sharing the volunteer's accomodation with other volunteers.

Activities & Shift

We will need your help with schooling tasks mainly - only if there aren't any kids around, you could help during breakfast, with keeping the hostel tidy, hanging laundry or social media.

You will be helping in the mornings from 7 to 11am on 5 days per week.

The rest of the day you are free to do whatever you want:
Go to the waterfall, the beaches, explore the area or just enjoy our wonderful facilities.

We are loceted up the hill by Uvita's waterfall.
It's one hour walk to the beach (the closest beach is part of the national park Marino Ballena) where you can surf, go for amazing beach walks, snorkel a bit and watch stunning sunsets.

It's a walk of 15 minutes to the closest supermarket.

No buses come up here but Uber and taxis are available anytime.

We don't rent bikes but you can rent bikes downtown.

The volunteer accommodation is shared with shared bathrooms.

Our hostel is located in the jungle and it's pretty open (walls aren't completely closed to allow the best air flow).
Bugs will enter but you got your mosquitonet tent to be protected and have some privacy.

You can use the big and fully equipped hostel kitchen and our fast and strong WiFi.
You will get a daily local breakfast.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
