Costa Rica
Imagine yourself in the cloud rain forest (literally in the clouds). Rainy, birds' calls, cool temperature, a great view of an active volcano amid mountains, and the incredible chance to help preserve it and the people around it. You will live with other interns and full-time staff on an eco-sustainable farm and research campus, participating in the communal and spiritual life of Ecoguardianes. Weekends and evenings are free to build relationships with the local community, hike volcanos and waterfalls, and explore the beauty of the rest of Costa Rica. You will be immersed in Ecoguardianes’ mission to work with neighbors, businesses, and schools to create a tangible, positive impact on a fragile ecosystem.
