general information
The aim of this conservation project is to preserve the environment of the beaches where sea turtles come to lay their eggs on the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica. The project covers 8 km of beach, and records more than 7,000 nests per season.

Your commitment as a volunteer will have a real impact on the turtles and members of the local community. The project team is always open to new ideas and appreciates volunteers learning new skills.

Your tasks
As a volunteer, you will take part in daily turtle patrols, either in the morning (3 to 5 hours) or at night (4 to 7 hours).

During patrols, you’ll protect new nests, record data on females during the egg-laying season, assist with fin marking, empty hatched nests and release newborns!

During the day, participants will also be helping to clean up the beaches, classifying plastics, teaching English to local people, giving presentations in local schools and tree-planting projects as well as other maintenance work around the camp!

The team generally works very hard on the project and expects all volunteers to do as much as possible to help achieve the objectives. Due to the nature of the environmental and community work, weekly project schedules are flexible.

In the event of any changes to the programme, the local coordinator will inform the volunteers as soon as possible.

The workload will vary depending on the number of people at the camp; the team may need their help a little more than usual. Each volunteer will have at least one full day off.

Come and discover the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and go on an expedition with the team of scientists in the second largest barrier reef in the world in Mexico! This participatory science project will allow you to participate in the rescue and rehabilitation of corals, the study of fish and to develop your knowledge of the marine world.

While the experience of a deep-sea expedition is exciting, the days can be long and you need to be prepared. Depending on the needs of the team, volunteers dive about once a day. Other assignments will be split between training sessions, cleaning up marine debris, and teaching environmental education to local communities. During your free time, you will be able to relax on the beach located a few hundred meters from the accommodation, visit the surrounding towns, etc.

Our program in Mexico helps preserve the different species of coral and fish for the survival of the coral reef. In this objective, we collect data on the health conditions and the changes that have taken place on the section of the barrier studied.

Optional: PADI divemaster training and PADI course. If you are interested, please let us know.

- Farm maintenance; gardening (watering plants, pulling weeds, planting flowers, tending to our vegetable garden, etc.) General cleaning, such as picking up trash and sweeping the ground, technical maintenance (small repairs, painting, etc)
- Second-hand shop: Helping in our second-hand shop. Opening and closing the store and sorting donations.
- Other: Whatever needs to be done at that moment, there is always something going on. We may ask for a little help here and there.

We are open 7 days a week, from 9 to 5. Volunteering could take place any day of the week for any hours! Whatever fits you best. We are open to one-time and regular volunteers.
Hope to see you soon!

This program in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, features three different projects, each focusing on addressing specific issues, including access to education, food waste, the environment, etc.. This vibrant city offers a rich culture and history, incredible architecture, delicious cuisine and stunning beaches, all just waiting to be explored.

One of the community projects in Lisbon focuses primarily on fighting against food waste and feeding those in need. The number of people, both families and individuals, in need has been increasing in recent years, making this project particularly vital.

The childcare project is also important as it contributes to the healthy development and future of the children. This rewarding experience in turn benefits the community as a whole.

The culture and community project will allow you to explore the city in depth as well as make meaningful impacts on the community. You could be involved in educational programs, environmental initiatives, or community outreach projects, taking language classes alongside these projects in order to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

Every program includes at least a basic Portuguese lesson as well as a walking tour throughout the city to see the local attractions and landmarks.

Education & childcare:
The education and childcare program in Lisbon prioritises providing education, assistance and child care to those in need, encouraging children’s healthy development. You will be working with young children usually within the ages of 3 and 5 years old. You will also be working closely with the other teachers. Through this project you will not only care for the local children and teach them basic English, but would also support the local teachers and staff, gaining practical experience in teaching young children.

Your main tasks may include helping out in basic routines such as naptime, lunch and other activities. You will also be able to contribute to the lesson planning, preparation, and other administrative tasks as required by the class teacher.

This kindergarten also prioritises teaching socio-emotional abilities such as critical thinking, expressing ideas, how to be grateful, sharing, being generous, being empathetic, and acknowledging others may feel. These skills are also very important for the children to develop.

There are two schools that volunteers can help at, depending on the need. One is attached to a Catholic church, though volunteers do not need to share this faith to participate in the program. The other location has a playground that is fairly empty and therefore volunteers are encouraged to use creativity in coming up with games to play with the children, given the materials available, such as tires and paint.

Food waste:
This community project in Lisbon aims to reduce food waste and contribute to feeding those in need. Big cities such as Lisbon have recently noted an increase of homelessness, the rate of which increased by 78% in Portugal due to the real-estate crisis and an increase of drug addictions.

This project ensures that good food is not wasted and people do not go hungry. By actively promoting social and environmental responsibility, both individuals and companies can participate in a circular economy producing social good on the community level.

Your day-to-day tasks may include collecting good food that would be wasted at restaurants, delivering meals to those in need, preparing food, serving families and individuals, organising and storing food, maintaining equipment and facilities, etc.

Community project :
This project is a unique approach to experiencing Portugal. You will have city tours, trips to the market and visits to iconic landmarks and scenic villages. Alongside these experiences you will engage in activities at the Community Engagement Project and be able to make a difference in the local community. You will immerse yourself in the culture and history of the coastal town of Cascais.

Some of the tasks you may be engaging in could include supporting education initiatives, participating in sustainable projects, or helping with local organisations. Regardless of the specific activities you do, you will leave a lasting mark on the individuals you encounter and the community as a whole.

This project allows for a transformative journey beyond typical tourism. The aim of this project is to create meaningful connections between travellers and the local community, supporting cultural exchange while making a positive impact.

Please visit our website for more information, durations, and pricing.

At Village Capital, we believe that the work of entrepreneurs solving urgent problems is vital to face the current world situation. For this reason, we fuel the growth of sustainable and impactful businesses by unlocking capital for early-stage entrepreneurs who are building emergent solutions for social, economic, and environmental challenges worldwide.

Greentech LatAm 2024: The Future of Sustainability will support early-stage companies who are creating locally viable solutions focused on cleantech and climate tech, agtech and food security, circular and regenerative economy, natural resource management, water sanitation, and health in Latin America. The companies will participate in 3 weeks of virtual workshops where they will have the opportunity to analyze their business from different perspectives and be better prepared to keep growing.

The volunteer will say a few words to close the program with the cohort (30 minutes) at the very last day of the virtual workshops. This is a private event with only those participating in the program, so the participation should come from someone that has been involved in the program or knows our work together well.
