In Town Volunteer Postings:
Volunteering can be done from from February through May and September through November of each year. These postings change periodically. All placements are organized only upon arrival and based on acceptance by local program. 1 month minimum required. The Individual volunteer programs offer are based in the social area usually teaching or assisting in schools or in educational type programs.

The local nutrition, public grade school and high school sometimes take volunteers but it cannot be booked until arrival in Orosi and meeting the head teacher. Volunteering in these 3 locations is getting a little tricky as their insurance policy doesn’t cover volunteers and they are afraid to go against the regional office’s rules with non students and non faculty on the premises. If you’re interested in doing some other type of volunteer work while here in Orosi, you’d need to see what’s available once you’re here in town. Volunteer info available from our Otiac offices!

* Local grade school in Paraiso would love to have you join them! Teaching English and helping out around the school. Great director and staff! 3-5 hours per day*

What is the best time or is there any time that’s NOT good to come to volunteer?

If your main goal is to volunteer in Orosi town placements, we would suggest to avoid December, January and Feb as most social programs are on summer vacation and the first 2 weeks in July as this is holiday and exam time.

What other types of social programs are there in Orosi and surrounding areas?

It’s a small town so there is NO seniors home, orphanage or hospital. As mentioned above most work in town is in the area of teaching with possibilities in the Nutrition center or public school or high school. This would normally have volunteers helping with or teaching English.
