Activities

Our mission is to design, promote and execute projects and programs that include the Costa Rican population in sustainable development in rural and urban communities. We aim at improving the quality of life of these communities, involving young people and thereby forming young leaders, increasing their skills and abilities.

In 1988, a group of college and high school students recognized the need to conduct environmental education in Costa Rica, to enhance the safeguard of protected areas (private or public), and to assist in community development. This group of students felt that they could accomplish these objectives more easily in an organisation than as mere individuals. Hence, they founded the Asociación de Voluntariado, Investigación y Desarrollo Ambiental VIDA (Association of Volunteers, Investigation and Environmental Development) in 1988
