About the Journey

Come meet, encourage, and have a bit of joyful fun with the children and families served by Hope Partners in the Pavas district of San José, Costa Rica.

This journey team will serve at the local Hope Center, helping with activities like:

• Improvement projects and renovations (e.g., painting classrooms, landscaping).
• Arts and crafts, sing-alongs, and games for the schoolchildren.
• Organizing, cleaning, and administrative tasks to support the teachers and staff.

While the projects you contribute to will help the community, the goal of this journey is relational investment in the children and families you’ll meet. The Hope Center in Costa Rica facilitates a brighter future for families facing incredibly challenging circumstances in one of the poorest regions in the country. Our mission is to support the local leaders by bringing joy and encouragement to the community. 

Once the team’s time at the Hope Center has wrapped up, you will visit La Paz Waterfalls and Rainforest or Punta Leona Beach to enjoy some well-deserved downtime before traveling home.

This journey is a great fit for…

• Families who want to serve together (and everyone is at least 10 years old). 
• Energetic, big-hearted teammates who are ready to meet and have fun with local kids.
• Anyone who speaks Spanish (or the universal languages of jump rope and freeze tag).
• Those who understand relational investment as a valuable act of service. 

If this is you or your family, then get ready to share the love of Jesus with a community in Costa Rica that you’ll never forget!
