Cross Cultural Connect

06/18/2026

We are so excited to kick off our AmigoLink programming again this summer! 🌎✨
Through AmigoLink, Cross Cultural Connect brings together traveling students from the United States and local Costa Rican students for intentional, meaningful, cross-cultural learning.
Before students ever meet in person, they begin with something simple but powerful: writing letters.
These letters become the first bridge between two worlds. Students introduce themselves, share about their families, communities, hobbies, schools, traditions, and daily lives. They begin to explore not only what makes their culture special, but also what makes each person unique.
AmigoLink is more than a pen pal program.
It is a space where students begin to understand that culture is not just what we eat, wear, celebrate, or speak. Culture also includes our values, beliefs, stories, communication styles, and the way our life experiences shape how we see the world.
We can’t wait for another summer of letters, learning, friendship, and connection. 💛

Imagine wanting to connect with the world, but not having the to… Cross Cultural Connect needs your support for Equal Access to Education for Indigenous Youth

It’s our largest fundraiser of the year! Kicking off on Giving Tuesday and working together to reach our goal, no donation is too small!

For over 10 years we all together have been making a difference in creating equal access to education!

Our Giving Tuesday fundraiser is LIVE, and we’re already off to an incredible start!
Since 2014, Cross Cultural Connect has been proving what’s possible when cultures unite with purpose. And this year, we’re taking one of our most meaningful steps yet.

We are in the final chapter of supporting Liceo Rual Kabebata, located in the Cabécar Indigenous Territory of Costa Rica. With your help, these students can reach what we call “Connection Level Status”—meaning they will finally have access to the laptops, tablet, and digital tools they need to connect with classrooms around the world, strengthen their cultural voice, and prepare for university and beyond.

Thanks to last year’s generosity, we were able to begin this work.
This Giving Tuesday, you can help us complete it.

You can support the project through our GoFundMe (link in bio) and by purchasing Global Citizen Bracelets, available for pickup, shipping, or at our partner locations. Every contribution helps open real opportunities for Indigenous students who are ready to shine.

Thank you for believing in global connection, cultural pride, and equal access to education. Together, we can finish Kabebata—and continue reaching more schools in the Indigenous zone and beyond.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
Today is a reminder of the ongoing fight for freedom and dignity, not just in one country, but around the world.

We honor all those who have stood up for independence, equality, and the right to be heard. From the Americas to every corner of the globe, may we continue working toward a future that celebrates justice, cultural understanding, and collective progress. 🌍

At Cross Cultural Connect, we believe freedom is not just a right, it’s a shared responsibility. Let’s keep connecting, learning, and creating change together.

Last week, a dedicated crew of CCC volunteers embarked on an exciting journey into the heart of the Cabécar Indigenous zone to kick off the setup phases of our next project.

The Liceo Rural Kabebata, located at the edge of the reserve, is an area where technology is gradually becoming more prevalent. Senior students here have the opportunity to travel to Turrialba the following year to pursue university studies, marking a significant step forward for their education.

Through the introduction of technology and multicultural study, we aim not only to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation but also to inspire the students to take pride in their rich cultural heritage. We hope this project fosters a vibrant, multicultural sharing community where students can feel connected to both their roots and the broader world.
