We have been teaching people about insects and arachnids for 20 years! We use an informal and hands on approach to teaching people about how cool bugs really are. Volunteers from all over the world are trained to guide people through 4 butterfly habitats; a leaf cutter ant colony and a collection of live insects from Costa Rica. We work hard everyday to develop understanding and tolerance towards the many different arthropods we have living on the planet.
What you do:
To apply; email Bryna monteverdebutterflygardens@gmail.com a resume and cover letter telling us why you want to volunteer with us and why you would be a great intern. Please put your availability and the position you are applying for in the email title.
Internships can lead to full time payed jobs for people willing to relocate to Costa Rica.
