Trip Summary

See full itinerary

Volunteering Costa Rica is a hugely rewarding programme, where you will be able to help in building new homes for people living in some of the poorest rural communities of Costa Rica. You'll live and work with the local people to get a real feel for what life in this wonderfully diverse country is really like.

The people of Costa Rica need your help…. living in houses that do not have adequate sanitation or protection from the weather, is common place in many rural communities, but you can be a part in changing this. With a bit of hard work, you can really make a difference by building new homes that are safe and secure for the people that need it most.

San Ramón lies 30 miles north of the capital San José and 28 miles inland from the beautiful central Pacific beaches, making it is great base for exploring the highlights of Costa Rica during your free time. San Ramón itself is a tiny city surrounded by dramatic mountainous landscapes and is a close knit community with some of the friendliest people in the country, so you can be sure that a warm welcome awaits you.

Location: San Ramon, Costa Rica

Sunday – Monday: Arrival and Orientation

On arrival at San José International Airport, Costa Rica, you will be met by one of our representatives who will take you to your first night’s accommodation in the historic town of Alajuela. The following day, Monday, you will receive a detailed orientation from our local team which will cover important information about your programme and provide you with lots of information about Costa Rica along with tips on the best places to visit during your free time.

After spending two nights in Alajuela, you will be transferred to San Ramón to start your programme, volunteers usually travel by public transport.

If there is time you may even be able to start getting your hands dirty and stuck in to the project work!

The project and your role: 1 to 8 weeks

Destination info

Location: San Ramon

Each house can take between ten and 24 weeks to build from start to finish, the stage of building work that you will be involved in will very much depend on the progress of the houses that are being built at the time you arrive.

As the programme is funded by the Costa Rican and Canadian Rural Housing programme and is a scheme to provide affordable to housing to the lowest income families in the rural areas; one of the requirements of the scheme is that the family for whom the house is being built for is very much involved in the building process as well. So as well as working with your fellow volunteers and builders from the scheme, you will be working alongside the people that you are helping and this will be give you the wonderful opportunity to get to know the people that will benefit from the house that you are building and gain an insight as to how much of a difference the new home will make to their lives.

The project work is likely to be very tiring and physically demanding but in return the sense of achievement will be incredible. You will be required to get involved in lots of different aspects of the building process, some of these tasks may include the following:

Carrying materials and tools to the building site
Digging trenches for the foundations
Laying floors
Mixing concrete
Putting roofs on the houses
Building septic tanks
Preparing frameworks for the buildings

It is not a requirement of the project for you to have any building experience or skills, as the team you will be working with will be able to teach you everything you need to know. However, if you have any previous building or construction experience then please do tell the local team know so that they can put your skills to good use.
