About Program
Plastic, Turtles, Spanish and Surfing
Join a team of volunteers on a planet-saving adventure that’ll take you right to the heart of Costa Rica. Your time will be spent on a unique mix of community and conservation projects which fall under our “Plastic Oceans” umbrella intertwined with adrenaline adventures in the cloud forest, surfing and learning to speak Spanish.
The Plastic Oceans projects are all community led and focus on finding unique and dynamic solutions to counteract the plastic washed up on the beaches which is a relentless battle. From beach clean ups to the creation of recycling stations, to turning micro plastics into stylish homeware - you will see how impactful community collaboration can be.
You will also experience working at 2 contrasting turtle sanctuaries where you will with hatchery maintenance and nest relocation.
