CULTURAL PROJECT CRH-SE3 IN COSTA RICA

This program offers you the possibility to immerse yourself in community activities: working with local groups, communal associations, youth groups, and sports organizations. Volunteers have the objective to set up a project and, once it is up and running, hand over the responsibility to the community members. Your custom-made project will be a marriage of the needs of the community and your personal inspiration.

During the Volunteer Training, ideas are given about what to do and how to develop, support, and carry out your custom-built project. Many volunteers create projects that deal with one major area of social development and focus on team-building and leadership.

Examples of community projects are: establishing programs and activities such as women’s groups, organizing soccer leagues for kids, women and men, building organic gardens for local soup-kitchens, repairing or constructing community sites, or designing small businesses that support local women’s financial independence.
