Volunteer With Us
Are you interested in helping us achieve our mission?
Our work is supported by volunteers from around the world who help us to make real change in the coastal communities of Costa Rica. We especially need volunteers for our TreesForSeas tree planting program between January and May. We also need volunteers to help with administration, communications and general support work.
Make a difference!
Help us with our TreesForSeas tree planting program and contribute to reforestation in an endangered ecosystem.
Life as a volunteer
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation at the shipyard is basic put comfortable. Beds, mattress, bedding and mosquito nets are provided in dormitory style accommodation. The town of Punta Morales is small but has a shop, bar and sandy beach!
FOOD
We are lucky to have breakfast and lunch cooked by the Women’s Association of Punta Morales. The food is mostly vegetarian and vegan. In the evenings dinner is cooked by everyone who lives in the shipyard on a rota.
PEOPLE
The AstilleroVerde team is small with less than 10 people working most of the time. The AstilleroVerde team works alongside the SAILCARGO INC team, creating a community of around 50 people who share meals, conversation and living space.
SCHEDULE
At AstilleroVerde the day starts early at 6.30am to make the most of the cool weather. There are breaks for breakfast and lunch at 9am and 1pm and the day ends at 4pm.
