Program Overview

Program Description:

The Costa Rican Times is putting together an internship program for females who are looking for a learning experience in the journalism field. The students will also experience the healthy lifestyle of yoga and surfing mixed with adventures through the beautiful beaches and rain forests of Costa Rica. No one wants to study all the time so the “work hard, play hard” theme has been instilled into our program! During the week interns will partake in Spanish classes, write and spinning articles for the newspaper, go out and take video and photos to help hone their journalism skills. The program members will also attend various other business classes that will help them realize what it is like to both start their own business both in the USA and in another culture. One of the most important things to learn in life is giving back to both your community and those lessmckee jaco fortunate. The Costa Rican Times will be working with the McKee Animal Shelter this summer in order to help the organization in their mission to end the pain and suffering of all companion animals in Latin America. Two days a week the interns will help the animal shelter. The whole program is aimed and helping you step outside of your comfort zone and find your destination in life!

Our program is specializing in Journalism and Media studies. Students will also be offered spanish classes as part of the total cost. There will also be weekly surfing lessons, yogo twice a week, and hiking through the jungle! Students will also be involved with local volunteer work at the Jaco Animal Shelter.
