Epifania Spanish Volunteer Programs
"Let us help you help others"
The Epifania Volunteer Program is designed for persons that, besides studying Spanish, wish to volunteer in social, cultural or ecological projects. You can work in volunteer projects and study Spanish at the same time or, in other projects, the student has to study Spanish first and then work in a Volunteer project.
The volunteer opportunities offered through Epifania Spanish School are for persons at least 18 years of age and registered for classes at Epifania Spanish School for a minimum of one week.
Are you thinking of bringing a group to study Spanish and work in Social, Cultural or Ecological projects in Costa Rica? If you have 8 or more participants, please contact Wagner Freer at info@epifaniaschool.com to begin planning your Spanish immersion adventure and Volunteer Program!
We offer two types of volunteer programs. One type is where you study Spanish in the mornings and volunteer with social and cultural projects in the afternoon. You can volunteer to work as many or as few hours as you wish. These types of programs include working with disadvantaged youths, teaching English, teaching sports and other types of social volunteer work. These types of volunteer projects require a minimum of one week.
The other type of volunteer program is where you study Spanish for two weeks at Epifania and then go to a volunteer ecological or conservation site. The site could be at a beach where you would help with sea turtle conservation or perhaps in a rain forest or other locations. You will have room and board at the site and it will be clean and safe but somewhat spartan. These type programs require a minimum stay of four weeks, two weeks studying Spanish and two weeks in the field.
