Many programs will collaboration among diverse individuals, nonprofit organizations government, and businesses from the local area and around the world, as well as from every levels of society.
Volunteer Programs come in all shapes and sizes, some provide a host where you live and breath with a family, others small groups or large groups living in open-air rooms. However, be careful, some of the programs will charge you for your room and board.
National Park Service in Costa Rica accepts volunteers through an organization called ASVO. You work under park rangers and do maintenance and other activities. Some spots are pretty primitive but they are places that tourists rarely get to visit. Sometimes you can even split your volunteering between parks. If you are into science check out some of Costa Rican's non-profit organizations which a few offer volunteer programs.
Costa Rica is a member of World Green Building Council
But do not think that volunteering is a lot of hard work, many offer surfing and Spanish classes, go on river rafting and ziplining adventures, and watch the whales.
