A: Most of our programs house volunteers 2 to 3 to a room, however some, such as our Costa Rica program have up to 6 per cabin; please call 1-877-588-4562 if you need more information about your specific program. Volunteers are usually divided by gender (or members traveling together), though the coordinator can work with you on room arrangements upon arrival. If available, you can pay an additional single supplement, though this is difficult to arrange in advance. Occasionally, due to group make-up, a volunteer may, by necessity be placed in a single room, in which case no supplement is required.
