📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

ACI Costa Rica is a non-profit NGO that promotes and runs programs of intercultural learning and international volunteering with young people from all corners of the world, guiding them in their participation in social and ecological projects and helping them to gain new perspectives of the world. In Costa Rica we run several different volunteering programs: sending and receiving, short-term and long-term, for groups and for individuals. We are an active member of ICYE – International Cultural Youth Exchange – a federation of NGOs with its headquarters in Berlin, Germany, and representation on five continents through its partner organizations and committees. ICYE has been declared an International Peace Messenger by the United Nations for its contributions to intercultural learning.

📍 About the location

Description of location: These public school is located San Isidro, a town with round about 45000 inhabitans in the province of San José . The students come from different social backgrounds but mostly middle and lower middle class. Ages vary from 5 to 13 years and the school years are kindergarten, preschool and the 1st to 6th years of elementary school. The school’s curriculum and activities normally cover all the general “basic” subjects, such as Spanish language, Science, Social Studies and Mathematics. On top of these subjects most of them offer English as a second language, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Civics, and Religion (catholic). As a consequence many of the volunteers are asked to help with the English as a second language classes (even if they are not native speakers as these classes would be at a basic level) or with the physical education classes. Sometimes, if the volunteer has some special knowledge or skills - such as music, art or sports - and if the school agrees, then they can organize their own activities. Schedule and leisure: Monday to Friday 7:00 am - 2:00 pm
