The Kalu Yala Institute: Environment & Community Internships in Panama

Are you looking for some excitement? Perhaps a travel opportunity in a remote location? Did you just graduate from college and you are looking for an exciting next step? A chance to be a part of building something unique? Can you imagine being part of building a new settlement? I am so intrigued by Kalu Yala! If you are looking for some adventure and a great creative and challenging outlet, then you are going to want to find out more! 

With Kalu Yala you can help to build the world's most sustainable modern town from the ground up in an ecologically-responsible way.


Currently, Kalu Yala is a pasture area set between two rainforest covered ridgelines that form a seven thousand acre river valley, accessible only by two miles of rough dirt road nestled in the Panamanian rainforest. This truly is the next frontier! 

On this tropical frontier, the plan is to dig into volcanic soil and build a small settlement with plans to become a town and eventually house a population of over 10,000 people. I don't know if you have read any Kalu Yala criticism, but if you have maybe these links can clear up any questions. 

The Mission:
This is the stated mission according to the Kalu Yala Facebook page:

Building the world's most sustainable town by engaging shareholders and homeowners in the creation and governance of a destination with a purpose and using the momentum from our actions to lead to a greater good for the people and environment in our region.

The Kalu Yala Institute offers a very intriguing alternative study abroad program with a special focus on learning-by-doing. If you engage in this program, you will live, study, and design projects within a developing and potentially sustainable modern town nestled in the tropical Panamanian jungle.

This is a fantastic opportunity for college students and young professionals. This is a chance to harness your passions for sustainable living. 

There are a variety of ways to be involved. Two of the main focuses in development include creating the town's foundation in Kalu Yala, and developing relationships in our neighboring town of San Miguel.
