VOLUNTEER

Any knowledge, skill or talent can somehow help those who need it most. Argentina is world-known for its tango, soccer, passionate people and landscapes, but beyond these images that cross borders and captivate millions, there is another reality, another Argentina that desperately needs your help. You can be a part of uplifting this hidden Argentina while experiencing the local culture and improving your Spanish.

Why pay to volunteer?

• To organize your accommodation, to orient and assist you until you settle down in your new environment and to find a suitable organization where you may volunteer. Although anyone can independently do this, the amount of time required to do so, particularly from overseas, without language fluency and for a short-term commitment is immense.

• Because the risk of personal hazard or picking an inappropriate organization can be quite high and your experience can be frustrating when there is no information and guidance in advance.

• By utilizing our assistance you are guaranteed a fulfilling placement with a legitimate organization and your comfort and safety are assured.

Our organization invests time and resources to ensure that volunteers work in suitable and safe projects and receive training as necessary. We invest in the orientation (before and during their stay), appropriate accommodations as well as in logistical and emotional support to facilitate their immersion into the local culture. Additionally you can take Spanish courses at the organization’s residence. You will likely spend far less, have far greater impact and be far more satisfied by utilizing our assistance.

Basic requirements
• Minimum age of 18.
• Minimum of 15 days commitment.
• General volunteer workload of 20-25 hours per week.
• A reasonable knowledge of Spanish (intermediate level) to be able to interact with local people. Applicants without such knowledge will be required to take at least a 2 week Spanish course before starting their volunteer project. See Spanish Courses info...
• An application form. Contact us to request the application form...

The success of your volunteer experience depends on you and what you make of it. Your proactive attitude and willingness are key. You will find little structure in local social organizations so volunteers are expected to be patient, enthusiastic to learn and serve, motivated, and –above all- proactive.
