💼 What the programme involves

The schools are located in different locations around Costa Rica. The public schools that the Socio Camps program works with are located in several middle and low-middle class areas of Costa Rica. The children’s ages vary from 5 to 13 years, which go from kindergarten, preschool and the first six grades of elementary school. The schools’ curriculum and activities usually includes all the basic subjects (Spanish, Science, Social Studies and Mathematics). Additionally, most schools offer English as a foreign language, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Civics and (Roman Catholic) Religion classes. English classes are one of the areas where the support given by volunteers is most valued (even if they are not native speakers as these classes would be at a basic level) as well as physical education. Sometimes, if a volunteer has some special knowledge or skills – for example in music, arts or sports – and if the school agrees, he/she can organize additional activities independently.

˜ WORK : Possible tasks for the volunteer:

• To assist the teachers in the classroom

• To help create didactic material

• To support in the special activities of the school

• To assist at the school's library or with other administrative tasks

• To organize additional activities with the approval of those in charge of the kids

• To help children with their homework.

-- Schedule for the volunteer: Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 1:00-2:00pm.
