Absolutely amazing experience

Volunteering in Costa Rica with ISV was an amazing adventure! As a first time international traveler, I was a little nervous at first but ISV offered so many resources to assist in my project preparations. The Spanish language immersion program is definitely a must for anyone considering volunteering in Costa Rica. The classes were really helpful and the extra activities and evening excursions were always fun. The volunteer project that I did in Gulfo Dulce was incredible! I got to work with sea turtles almost every day as well as help local research assistants with their mangrove restoration, community development, and education program development projects. Every aspect of my volunteer project was worth it and I can't wait to return one day!
