Are
you handy? Volunteer in construction in Costa Rica and get your hands
dirty by building and renovating in low-income communities.
As a
volunteer in Costa Rica, you will be building or renovating schools,
community centers and houses in impoverished communities. If you have
experience in construction you will be assigned specific tasks, but if
you don’t you will be assisting staff or more experienced volunteers in
the project.
The construction program in Costa Rica is great for
people who like working in teams and like manual tasks. As a volunteer
in construction, you could be painting, mixing cement, laying bricks,
cutting wood, moving earth, drilling and more. You don’t need to have
previous experience, but if you know construction or renovation it
certainly helps. If you have any specific skills related to construction
let us know so we can add a note on your previous experience.
The
specific work varies depending on the priorities at the moment you
arrive, and what is being built or renovated at the moment.
Most
of the work is outdoors and requires volunteers to be somewhat
physically fit and being able to cope with dusty and sunny conditions
regularly.
