WLA1 Graduate Social Impact Initiative
Creating Opportunities Through Language, Education & Community Empowerment
June – November 2026 | Playa Pelada, Nosara, Costa Rica
From Personal Growth to Community Impact
When Heidy Villegas, a resident of Playa Pelada in Nosara, joined the Wellth Living Academy Leadership Program in 2025, she had a simple yet powerful vision: "To learn to see life differently and help my community." She turned that vision into action.
Inspired by the needs of her community, Heidy developed a social impact initiative to expand access to English-language learning for adults ages 21–60 working in Nosara's service industry. Recognizing that work schedules, family responsibilities, transportation, and financial limitations can make traditional classes difficult to access, she envisioned a more flexible and accessible approach to learning.
The Initiative
Launched on June 1, 2026, this six-month community English initiative supported 38 participants through a combination of self-paced learning on WhatsApp and weekly 90-minute virtual learning sessions.
With the support of three volunteer English teachers, the program provides participants with opportunities to strengthen their language skills, build confidence, and develop abilities that can open doors to greater personal, educational, and professional opportunities.
Community Impact
Expanding Educational Access: Creating more flexible English-learning opportunities for adults in the local service industry.
Building Confidence: Supporting participants in developing communication skills for everyday and professional settings.
Strengthening Opportunity: Helping community members build skills that may expand their employment and educational prospects.
Mobilizing Community Support: Engaging three volunteer English teachers in a collaborative effort to advance learning.
Empowering Local Leadership: Demonstrating how one graduate's vision can inspire meaningful action and create opportunities for others.
The Ripple Effect of Leadership
Heidy's initiative reflects the Wellth Living Academy's commitment to developing leaders who recognize opportunities for positive change and take action to address community needs.
Her journey demonstrates that leadership extends beyond personal achievement. It is about using what we learn to uplift others, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for shared growth.
