Costa Rica: Medical Assistance

Under the guidance of MEDLIFE doctors and other medical professionals, you will help provide free healthcare to the community of Tamarindo, a beautiful and diverse coastal town. This combination Community Service/Career Experience summer program in Costa Rica is led by our amazing staff, who are there to support, guide and provide reflection on the impact of the work we do throughout the program and promote the value of empathy and cultural sensitivity. Teens will walk away with hands-on medical support experience and a greater understanding of the complexities and challenges of public health in remote communities. In addition to your volunteer service, this teen program includes amazing adventures like learning to surf, zip-lining over the forest canopy, enjoying a catamaran snorkel cruise and more! It won’t be long until you will fall in love with all things Costa Rican and the Pura Vida lifestyle.
