About the Journey

Through our partnership with Openhouse, this global(x) team will head to Costa Rica. The Central American country is known for its biodiversity, beautiful beaches, volcanoes, and hot springs. In many aspects, Costa Rica is a success story in terms of development. It is considered an upper-middle-income country, and its steady economic growth has helped it report the lowest poverty rates in Latin America.

We’re looking to build an energetic team that is ready to engage with local children and families. Since Spanish is Costa Rica’s native language, Spanish speakers will be a huge asset to the team, but English-only speakers, we need you too, and translators will be available. Serving this community will offer both physical projects and relational opportunities for all team members.

You’ll fly from Atlanta to San Jose, Costa Rica. From your hotel, it’s about a 30-minute commute to the community in Pavas outside of San Jose, where you’ll be spending the majority of your time. 

The team will be working on school and community improvement projects like painting, renovation, planting, cleaning, and organizing.  You’ll have the opportunity to spend time with the school children and their teachers as you and your global(x) team lead fun activities like arts and crafts, sing-a-longs, and interactive games. 

Seeing the struggles and sharing the love of Jesus with the Costa Rican people is a humbling experience and one that you won’t soon forget. If you’re interested in taking this journey with global(x), apply now!
 

New for 2020!

You're busy enough, so we're taking some things off your to-do list! We've reduced the number of forms you need to complete, simply by adding a few questions to the global(x) application. Students, if you are under the age of 18 and will be at the time of travel, you will need a parent present to help you complete this part of the application. We'll also collect your credit card information during the application process so that we can automatically credit your deposit to your account once you're placed on a team. And, no more paper copies of your passport needed, just upload it in your application or to your ServiceReef profile, and you're done!
