    About the program

    Our project aims to support various non-profit initiatives in Costa Rica, especially those that are committed to the development of children and animals. The main tasks include maintaining and managing the Instagram account of the projects to make their activities and progress visible. You will create and edit high quality photos and videos as well as write and regularly post informative texts in Spanish and English.

    In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit other projects to document their work through photos and videos as well. Your working hours are 3-4 hours per day and are flexible to meet the different needs of the projects. A varied working environment is guaranteed.

    In addition to social media management, you can plan and carry out beach clean ups, as well as organize soccer matches and fundraising events. These events help to raise environmental awareness and mobilize additional resources for the projects.

    You will learn to work independently and in a coordinated manner, but you can always get in touch with our contact person on site if you have any concerns.
