BMPC Liaison: Cindy Pierce 

Mission:
UBL was founded in 1923 as a school for biblical training for young women in San Jose, Costa Rica by Susan Strachan, an Irish Anglican missionary. By 1930 the school was co-ed and the 40 students were from eleven countries. Today, it is the hub of a network of affiliated institutions which train leaders from Latin America to serve the Church. UBL offers diversified theological education which has gained the attention of theological educators around the world and is being adopted by a growing number of seminaries.

Volunteer Opportunities:
Whether individually or in groups, the UBL welcomes volunteers. Volunteers may work for as little as a few days or for as long as they like. Housing is provided on a space-available basis in the student residence hall. For those who want more space and privacy, inexpensive rental apartments are available.
