A Cross-Cultural Solutions volunteer program will take you on a journey to another country - where you will work side-by-side with local people, immerse yourself in another culture, and live in a community that warmly welcomes you.
Our unique programs will give you the opportunity to exchange ideas with people of another culture and interact on a global level. Most importantly, it will open the door to new relationships with people who will change your life - as much as you change theirs.
In addition to being famous for lush rainforests, beautiful beaches and progressive mentality, Costa Rica is known throughout the world as a pillar of stability in Latin America. San Carlos is a pristine mountain town situated on a plateau overlooking Arenal Volcano. As a volunteer, you will discover the strong sense of family and community for which the Ticos (Costa Ricans) are famous.
