English teaching project volunteers support school teachers with lesson planning and delivery. Volunteers will also possibly help teach other subjects, assist children with homework and oversee recreational and art activities. Volunteers support administrative school operation or kitchen duties and even instruct younger learners about personal hygiene and sanitation. Our volunteers do it all!

This project requires Spanish fluency at a basic to intermediate level. If you cannot speak Spanish, we suggest you enroll in our Spanish language course to make your stay more rewarding – both for you and for the children you are helping. Additionally, volunteers should be proficient in English and fluent in art of English conversational skills. Applicants should have enthusiasm and love for the English language, have tolerance, be flexible and practical.

Rustic Volunteer Travel arranges volunteer accommodations and strong field supervision for the duration of projects and optional travel packages. In Argentina, most volunteers stay in our home base (hostel), a permanent home established for our international volunteers . Our homebase in Argentina is located in a pretty community, in a very safe and clean neighborhood. There are internet cafés, restaurants, local bus stations, a police station and supermarkets near our homebase. The homebase provides is a comfortable place to relax after a long day. There are several bedrooms (which may be shared with a same-gender volunteer) and community areas. There is a shared kitchen, television and shared bathrooms, which have running water and “western-style” toilets.

Depending on the influx of volunteers, accommodations could be with a host family. Host family accommodations are simple and clean homes in safe neighborhoods. Volunteers usually have a private bedroom, but occasionally rooms will be shared with a same-gender volunteer. Our host families are well screened and are respected members of their communities who live in affluent neighborhoods. Most of our host families have experience with hosting international volunteers. Host family stays are a great chance for cultural immersion and exchange.

Rustic offers unparalleled field support to volunteers to ensure a safe and rewarding experience. There are many layers of support for you. The most important support comes from our country coordinator/field staff. The secondary support comes from the host project staff and members of host families and/or a homebase staff. Volunteers will have access to our country coordinator's mobile number and they are available 24/7. Throughout the volunteer project, our local staff stays in contact with volunteers either with face-to-face visits or via email/telephone. Our field staff will visit regularly (every 2-4 weeks) to make sure things are going well and as planned. However, if placement is far from our local offices, staff members will stay in touch via email/ phone. Volunteers are also welcome to stop in the offices at any time.

Specific details regarding accommodations, food and contact details for our local coordinator will be provided in personalized volunteer placement documentation prior to arrival.

Teach English in Argentina 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 modern city. Volunteers can organize various excursions during and after the volunteer project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place that volunteers can utilize during weekends. Tourist attractions and amenities include architecture, museums, city tours, tango performances, sports, restaurants, art, folk music, festivals, hotels, and much more.
