Talamanca Region, Costa Rica and the US

The ForestBanana™ Project works to support organic banana growers in the Caribbean region of Costa Rica. We are working with local small-scale growers to help them diversify their markets for bananas grown organically under the shade of the rainforest by coöp members. This project is a precursor to a call for a shift away from industrially produced bananas imported into the US, something about which we have been educating for years.

This is hands-on work protecting rainforests, helping local people and supporting sustainable agriculture.

People from all backgrounds and abilities are welcome. All it takes is a love for people and the environment and a passion for helping to create a sustainable world.

There is a cost to this internship but a few partial or full scholarships are available for qualified applicants.
