Volunteering at Planet One World

Should be beneficial for both sides

Volunteering at Planet One World is Voluntourism. You support our vision and project while having a lot of fun doing different activities and tours. Leaving your impact on the project means varied work on the farm, in the wildlife refuge and in the BriBri communities. Fullfilling our mission to protect nature we are following our vision and educate people about how we can coexist with nature. That is why workshops are an inherent part of your volunteer stay. This approach includes weekly tours in which you get to know the south-eastern Caribbean side.

We will do unforgettable cultural excursions as well as we show you incredible nature settings. Ultimately we want that you can explore the beaches, the nightlife and nature on your own. For that, you have leisure time on the weekends where you can sleep at our beach house and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean side of Costa Rica. We sincerely believe that the impact you will leave cannot just be seen at the different projects of Planet One World, but also on your personality, attitude and behaviour. We like to keep it simple and personal so spare some time and have a chat with us: https://calendly.com/wackerbarthhannes/30min

Volunteering should be beneficial for both sides as it also should leave an impact on both sides!
