  Description

  Welcome Volunteer Applicant!
  
  We would like to welcome you to our volunteer program.
  
  We are back! And our volunteer program too!
  
  We're a long term hospitality service focused on giving the best Costa Rican experience to international students, interns, digital nomads and wondering souls who want to stay in our beautiful country for a fair share of time.
  
  In order to truly change the game, we acknowledged the importance of a proficient volunteer program where travelers not only work in return for their stay, but also contribute to the experience. Fueled by this fact, we designed a volunteer program that fuses our needs to your goal of getting to know our beautiful country without compromising your wallet.
  
  Our program is heavily travel-driven. We aim to provide volunteers the change to get the most of their trip so that in turn we may reap the benefits of a motivated and determined staff.
