Join forces with educators, farmers and citizens uniting to combat the slash and burn agricultural techniques that subsistent cacao, coffee and banana farmers in this transitional coastal region practice. Teachers and volunteers are sharing a curriculum that focuses on sustainable farming and lifestyles, conservation, and recycling with the hope that the next generation will bring the knowledge home to help change the current environmentally and economically destructive practices of their parents. 

Volunteers with a high intermediate to advanced level of Spanish are requested to help assist teachers in the school as this sustainability curriculum is replicated throughout the city. Particular knowledge about the environment is not as important as language ability (you will be trained and provided lessons.) Skills such as music, art, and ESL are also valued to diversify the curriculum in these underserved, rural schools.

Recommended skills and qualifications:
•    Intermediate Spanish level
