Project Central America: Managua, Nicaragua
OPERATION NICARAGUA 2022
APRIL 11 - APRIL 18, 2022
IT'S TIME!!! It has been two years since ISLA's last surf lifesaving operation in Nicaragua. This year we're deploying a team of lifeguards to work along side the Nicaraguan Red Cross lifeguards during the busy Easter Week. "Semana Santa" is known for it's large local festive crowds, dangerous currents, and unfortunately high fatalities due to drowning.
If you desire to be on the front-lines of surf lifesaving development, this is an ISLA Operation you can't miss! We've even dropped the cost of this year's project to historic levels just to get YOUR flip flops on the ground.
Volunteer applications close Sunday Feb 13th, 2022, so it’s best to apply as soon as possible. Get the full scoop by clicking below.
