Roots of Change: Costa Rica Service Journey
Join us this summer in Costa Rica to learn from and serve alongside the Bribri community. Throughout the trip, we’ll engage in community-driven projects that may include reforestation, agroecological farming, sea turtle conservation, beach cleanups, and infrastructure or school improvements identified by local leaders. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live in harmony with both people and planet.
