What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
In Costa Rica, you’ll have the opportunity to serve in one of the following ministries: Community and Environmental Health, Creative Arts, Education/Tutoring, Boys & Girls Club, Microfinance, or Sports!
Students International focuses on short-term missions that “help without hurting,” by placing our students with long-term missionaries who are fully integrated into the community and who aren’t taking jobs away from local laborers. Our style is relational and is therefore centered around our long-standing presence within the communities where we work. This may be challenging for people who expect to see immediate "results" in evangelism and project completion. As a result, however, we see local and outreach participants transformed into the likeness of Christ.
In the southern part of San Jose, you’ll minister to the Desamparados or “Forgotten Ones” of Costa Rica. Local host families provide evening meals and a place to rest after a long day at your ministry site. Excursion options include the beach, ziplining, and La Paz Waterfall Garden.
For over a quarter century, we’ve sent over 25,000 students to serve alongside our full-time missionaries in hard-to-reach communities. Those students have helped transform thousands of lives for the better. And so can you.
