<h3>How can I volunteer in Costa Rica starting whenever I want and for a good price?</h3>

I want to volunteer in Costa Rica but I don't want to pay $ 1000 for that. Honestly, someone else will make money for me going to volunteer. Also, I would want to start whenever I chose. I really can't find these two things, Please help???

<p><i>Answer by Jenn K</i><br/>Tom,
What type of a volunteer situation would you like? I know of various national parks here and reserves that allow for volunteers and would be happy to put you in touch with the coordinators.

Yes, it puzzles me as well some of the programs charging thousands for your free time under the guise of supporting the volunteers room and board... I personally have someone aiding in marketing in my small hotel in exchange for room, board and spanish lessons. What kind of an experience do you want? In the outdoors? In a school? Living in a spanish-speaking environment with A TICO family? Please advise so we can best guide you.</p>
