Description
Hola a todos!
We are a Spanish language school in Costa Rica. Our aim is to teach, immerse, and initiate a global understanding of Costa Rican culture. We offer intensive Spanish language classes as well as a Homestay program where students live in the homes with local families and share two meals a day with them. Additional programs include Latin dance classes, yoga, adventure tours, cultural tours, and free conversational programs with local English students.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are all about cultural exchange! You're going to be interacting with a lot of local Costa Ricans on a very personal level. The school is constantly interacting with the community and is always trying to involve itself more.
After 1 week of volunteering, Spanish classes will be offered to volunteers whom are interested at no fee.

MARKETING/PHOTOGRAPHER VOLUNTEER
November 2024 – May 2025
• We really need a marketing specialist / social media manager / photographer / videographer
We're bouncing back from the covid situation and have many adult students at the school experiencing Costa Rican culture through Spanish, cooking, and dance classes! :) But we're really behind on capturing those experiences visually and need help with daily posts to social media.
If you are professionally experienced, we are looking for someone who can create email marketing and social media campaigns and can track data from those campaigns. Our Program Director has significant experience in Google Analytics and Facebook Marketing but is often too busy to design a proper campaign and make tweaks to it where necessary. We know there are digital nomads out there that know this digital marketing world in and out! Please help us! :)
A background in SEO and/or Google Adwords is a huge plus. Facebook/instagram marketing a huger plus. Really, if you are a social media fan, we're open to meeting you and hearing more about your experience in the area!
Help us with marketing por favor 🙏

Accommodation
We have a separate room on site at the school with a full size bed, a desk, and some basic closet space. You'll have your own private bathroom that has a standing shower, toilet, and sink. Likewise, you'll have access to a full service kitchen at the school.
In the case of very qualified volunteers looking to stay for 3-10 weeks, we can discuss the option of housing volunteers in a local homestay where two meals a day will be provided.
What else ...
We are located in the heart of Costa Rica in a city called Heredia. The city alone is home to three Universities which gives fuel to a lively nightlife complete with many bars and restaurants. Within a 30 miles radius of the school, there are 3 volcanoes and 4 national parks. The Pacific Ocean is only a 2-hour bus ride away giving way to incredible tropical beaches, rain forests, animal life, etc.

Good vibes, great attitude, fit right in with the family.
We were in a bind as a previously committed yoga volunteer backed out at the last minute. Katie travelled all the way from Nicaragua to come to our rescue! She taught fantastic yoga classes complete with music, adjustments, and an ability to adhere to the skills of… read more
The bar has been set so high.
