About Program
Join us for an inspiring experience: gain hands-on experience in environmental projects, bilingual education, sustainability initiatives, and community engagement while immersed in the culture by living with a host family.
Interns can work as full-time assistants to a classroom teacher where they learn to plan and give lessons, evaluate student work and behavior, and refine their classroom management skills. They work closely with a cooperating teacher to assist in all aspects of the classroom. Also, can work with our sustainability initiatives, in our 96-acre reserve, our herb garden, and our composter. Or with our community engagement projects like alumni activities, our reforestation program, and organizing leisure activities.
Daily life in the "Monteverde" area offers students the possibility to enjoy forest hikes and experience the friendliness of the people and the "PURA VIDA" culture of Costa Rica.
