Work in NGO – Human and Environmental Rights
Trip code: ARG5

Both the environment and human rights are often compromised in developing countries around the world. This project involves highlighting and investigating the link between environmental degradation and the violation of human rights by conducting field investigations. In collaboration with NGOs hoping to address these very important topics, volunteers are needed to assist with halting the destruction of the Argentinean environment as well as people's rights. Volunteers/travelers who think outside the box on a Global scale and human rights activists are ideal for this project as well as self-starters sympathetic to the ploy of their fellow and less fortunate man.

Project/Volunteer's Life:

Volunteers participating in this project should be interested in and passionate about human and environmental rights and the preservation of BOTH. Volunteers will assist in advising and educating communities regarding issues pertaining to the above-mentioned rights - conducting and participating in workshops or seminars aiming to disperse information to regional communities within and surrounding the city of Córdoba . Volunteers' duties include (but are not limited to): relevant field research, skills-training, attending/organizing conferences, archiving of related materials/findings, publishing various materials, and more.

Skills and Qualification

Intermediate Spanish is required. Rustic Volunteer Travel offers free Spanish lessons to volunteers in Córdoba. Volunteers are expected to be flexible, adaptive, patient and proactive.

Meals/Accommodations:

Rustic Volunteer Travel provides accommodation (two beds per room) and breakfast in a well kept house in a very quiet and safe middle class residential neighborhood which is less than 10 minutes walk to downtown. This situation allows participants to make friends fast and to immerse more easily in the local culture. The daily free Spanish classes are provided in a close by school and the Tango classes are provided in this house, which also serves as our local partner's organization's office so you will have permanent access to our in country coordinators.

Project Locations:

Volunteer Argentina Human and Environmental Rights projects are available in Córdoba. As South America’s second largest country, Argentina is renowned for its heavily Italian and Spanish influenced culture, rich history of literature, Flora (subtropical plants) and fauna. Argentina's urban areas have a European look, reflecting the influence of European settlers as well as the traditional Spanish-grid style around a main square (plaza) However most of its cities offer most of the amenities you would expect from any city. Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: architecture, museums, city tours, tango, sports, restaurants, art, folk music, festivals, hotels, and much more.
