Volunteer Travel Argentina

Work in NGO- Community Development
Trip code: ARG4

Local partners provide much needed assistance to NGO’s of various sizes throughout Argentina. NGO’s are lacking operational expertise, and are in desperate need of capable and committed volunteers not only to work directly in their programs, but also to help them become stronger, more sustainable and better able to serve their communities. Advice in the fields of management, budgeting and human resources are needed on a daily basis.

To help Argentina’s local NGOs volunteer Argentina program recruits international volunteers and matches them with a project geared toward their interests and where their knowledge and skills can provide the maximum positive impact. Volunteers/travelers can put their knowledge to work helping real people and real programs thus gaining an unforgettable personal and professional experience. At the same time, they improve their Spanish and have the opportunity to be deeply immersed in the incredible culture of Argentina 's people
