Volunteers working on this project would have various tasks, some of them include:

-Volunteering at Wild Animal Rescue Center: Learn about the animals, their personal history, and their plight in Costa Rica. Help take care of the animals by feeding them, cleaning their cages, and assisting in repairing or building new cages.

-Volunteering at Local recycling project: Learn how to make banana paper from recycled paper, which are then used to sell as artesian to support a local women's co-operative.

-Volunteer at Reforestation project: Help reverse the damage done by deforestation by preparing tree seedlings for delivery to reforestation programs.

-Volunteer in Community construction projects: Lend a hand and watch as a group effort materializes into a house, an eco-friendly garden, or a community center. This is a great opportunity to show leadership and commitment to enhancing the lives of others.

-Volunteer English Teaching project: Be a role model, be an assistant English teacher in a small rural school. Many times, rural schools are not able to fulfill their basic English requirements due to a lack of well trained English teachers.
