Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers with Intermediate Spanish and experience of working with children or adolescents.

A clean criminal record is required.

The girls need a sympathetic ear, a helping hand with everyday tasks and good assistance with their homework.

We ask for an understanding of the Madre Albertina Nun’s order and to respect their philosophies but we do not ask for our volunteers to be Catholic.

Our volunteers should be sensitive in their dress sense and cover up adverse piercing or tattoos and not wear skimpy clothing.

We ban any drug use or arrival at the home intoxicated and ask volunteers not to inflict their Western values on the girls or home.

Any hobbies or interests that the girls can engage in at the home are appreciated, such as dance, art, music, sport etc.

Volunteers generally stay with a host family where you will have your own room and 3 meals a day. This generally costs around $200-$300 a month. There are also plenty of hostels in the town.

The Girls Home in Cartago, Costa Rica

Due to unique circumstances, Madre Albertina’s order of nuns provides care and nurturing to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds who are unable to overcome poverty and lead healthy lifestyles.
