Can volunteers make their own travel arrangements?
Volunteers may opt out of the WorldTeach group flight. Those leaving from outside the United States or planning to travel in Costa Rica before the program starts should plan on arranging their own flights. Volunteers that do book their own travel to Costa Rica must plan to arrive in San José on or before the date of the group flight’s arrival so that they do not miss any orientation activities. Volunteers traveling independently must inform the program manager in writing of their travel plans. Volunteers that purchase their own air ticket will have the group airfare deducted from their program fee.
