Help Argentina’s residents in need when you volunteer with our Community Outreach Program in Buenos Aires.

Volunteers with our Community Outreach Program will have the opportunity to work hands-on in a wide variety of projects designed to benefit residents in one of Buenos Aires’ most economically depressed neighborhoods. You will spend your time helping out in neighborhood centers, churches, soup kitchens, halfway houses and shelters, providing basic services like childcare, meal preparation, English lessons, and assistance for the elderly and people with special needs.

As a volunteer in Buenos Aires, you will not only be helping members of the local community meet their basic needs, but  will also have the opportunity to serve as a mentor and role model, encouraging both adults and youth to realize their full potential.
