Volunteer at Sarapiqui
Conservation Learning Centre
The SCLCs mission is to link communities and
conservation through education and
ecotourism in the Sarapiquí region of Costa
Ricas northern lowlands.
The SCLC focuses its efforts in four areas
environmental education, community
development, conservation, and tourism in
order to help form future environmental
leaders, raise the organizational capacity
of local communities, promote sustainable
land use, and offer tourism that serves as a
source of support for sustainable
development in the area.
Our programs serve hundreds of local people
and thousands of ecotourists each year.
This region is the 6th poorest county in all
of Costa Rica. Tourism is a rapid growing
industry, and therefore there is a high
demand for English speakers. The centre is
an important leader for ecotourism in the
area and the more help to spread awareness
to locals and foreigners the better. This
