Ideal candidates should possess cultural sensitivity, collaboration skills, adaptability, and patience. Volunteers will benefit from cultural and professional development workshops, gain international teaching experience, access to a free coaching app, and receive a participation certificate.

GLP’s programs are created alongside faculty, ensuring an itinerary that aligns with the objectives of any academic course 🇨🇷

Students immerse themselves in Costa Rican culture, join in hands-on projects, and nourish their souls through nature admiration along with local experts who offer top-notch support – all while furthering their professional and academic goals through workshops and site visits. 🙌 Previous students have participated in traditional arts and crafts, culinary and medicinal plant experiences, zip-lining and surfing through the lush tropics, or simply sitting back and experiencing the delightfulness of coffee and cacao while building long-lasting relationships…

We have perfected the art of blending authentic culture, adventure, self-nourishment, and academics with all our activities rooted in education and awareness. 🌐🌿
