About Program

Do you dream of working with primates and other incredible wildlife? Our rescue center, based in the heart of the Nicoya Peninsula jungle, is dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of animals such as howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, scarlet macaws, coatis, kinkajous, nine-banded armadillos, opossums and more.

We’re inviting passionate volunteers to join us year-round and become part of our conservation mission! No prior experience needed - just a love for animals and a willingness to learn!

Volunteering with us means making a tangible difference for animals that have been injured, orphaned, or displaced. You’ll gain valuable skills, knowledge, and memories to last a lifetime, all while helping wildlife return to the wild where they belong.
