Today's guest, Mateo Tanner, served from 2006-2008 as a Children, Youth, and Families Volunteer in GuararĂ­ in Heredia Province.




We talk about how a recruiter with a VHS tape at the University of Miami got him to apply, his initial language struggles, his growth from the first to second year, and how he took advantage of the Paul D. Coverdell scholarship to earn an MSW. Lastly, he shared how his time in Costa Rica continues to shape his view on community as well as his career in the non-profit world.
