Volunteering in Costa Rica will surely be one of the best experiences. Being one of the world's leading ecotourism and conservation spots, this country attracts a lot of volunteers throughout the year and Volunteering Solutions has a wide range of interesting programs in the country. The most popular one is the Turtle Conservation Program where volunteers will have to spend most of their time on the beaches, looking after the Olive Ridley Turtles!
If you love kids and want to volunteer with children, then you can either choose the Child Care Program or the Teaching English Program. It'll be an incredible learning opportunity for all.
