Volunteering with the CRHF is a tremendously rewarding experience, but it is also not for everyone. To realize our vision of improving the quality of life for the populations that we serve, the CRHF requires a high level of commitment, dedication and personal responsibility from every volunteer. CRHF volunteers must possess a positive, cheerful attitude and be confident in their ability to help others make positive changes in their lives. They must be sincere in their desire to serve and sensitive to the life situations of others, especially to the fact that there are thousands of Costa Ricans who cannot afford to put food on their tables. Finally, CRHF volunteers must be able to use their skills and talents in creative and flexible ways because of the unique set of challenges and circumstances that exist in a developing country like Costa Rica.
