Deadline: We will consider internship applications on a rolling basis.  Thus, we encourage you to submit your application early in order to secure your preferred position.  However, we will continue to accept qualified interns up until two weeks before the start dates.

Cost of Participation & Financial Aid:
Our program has an extremely limited budget, and we ask our interns to contribute the cost of their participation so that we have the maximum funding available for the youth we serve.  We do offer need-based financial aid to interns as much as we are able.

The internship fee of $200 per week includes:

• Room & board (3 meals per day) with a Costa Rican host family
• Weekly laundry with host family
• Work-related transportation within Costa Rica
• Some tours and activities with participants
• Training and supervision
  

 
The fee does NOT include airfare.  As of January 2012, round-trip airfare to San José, Costa Rica for our dates starts at about $400 from Miami, $500 from New York, Boston or Detroit, and $600 from Los Angeles.

Limited financial aid may be available to qualified individuals.  We strongly believe in making all of our opportunities available to everyone regardless of ability to pay.  Please indicate on your application if you will require financial aid in order to participate.

Our funding is highly dependent on the enrollment of international teen participants.  Thus, we offer a recruitment bonus to interns which can help to cover the cost of participation.
