About Program
Experience meaningful conservation while living in one of Costa Rica's most unique coastal communities.

No previous experience is required—just a willingness to learn, work as part of a team, and make a positive impact while enjoying one of the world's most important sea turtle nesting beaches.

Program Impact
Our project supports the long-term protection of one of the world's most important sea turtle nesting beaches through community-based conservation. Volunteers contribute to essential activities such as beach patrols, nest monitoring, habitat protection, and environmental data collection, helping local conservation teams protect vulnerable turtle populations. Beyond wildlife conservation, the program strengthens the local economy by creating employment opportunities and supporting sustainable tourism that benefits the Ostional community. Every volunteer plays a meaningful role in preserving biodiversity while promoting responsible travel, environmental education, and a future where both wildlife and local communities can thrive together.
