My experience with Proyecto San Gerardo

I volunteered for Proyecto San Gerardo in the Fall of 2014 for several months. First off - San Gerardo is a gorgeous little town that is set at the base of Mt. Chirripo. One of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica. The people of San Gerardo are very nice and make you feel at home in the community.

I taught English to both kids and adults during my time. I always felt like I received the support I needed to be successful. The kids were great to teach (even though I struggled with discipline from time to time!).

I would highly recommend being part of Proyecto San Gerardo and helping anyway you can in that community. The community relies on Proyecto San Gerardo to provide English classes to the locals and many other helpful resources.
