Sustainable Development and Wild Nature Conservation in NICARAGUA

Be a volunteer with the GAIA Program at Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve in Nicaragua. Special discounts for Spanish courses and volunteering for 2016.

Confronting a world with new connections, languages and problems presents new challenges, requiring learning new skills and unlearning inappropriate ways of seeing and interacting with one's environment. Some of our educational projects are directed at Nicaraguan youth, others at non-Nicaraguans wanting to know more about Nicaragua. GAIA sponsors and supports numerous educational and training initiatives, each confronting a unique situation. Click on the links to learn more about each GAIA educational project.
