Community Projects in Costa Rica

Language courses plus volunteer placements

Countries: Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Russia
Duration: from 6 Weeks to 24 Weeks

Volunteering abroad is a plan many people have for their Gap Year. Like many companies ESL Language Travel offers the chance to take part in a wide range of volunteer placements all over the World. The different with our programmes is that you also take an intensive language course before starting your volunteer placement. This means you have a far greater degree of fluency in the language of the country you find yourself in, and therefore are able to contribute more to, and get more out of your volunteer placement.
