 Change the lives of Argentina's at-risk youth when you volunteer with our Youth Outreach Program in Buenos Aires.
As a volunteer with our Youth Outreach Program, you will have the opportunity to help Argentina’s at-risk children and teens reach their potential, while also working toward breaking the cycle of poverty that affects so much of the country. Volunteers will work in a hands-on environment at community centers, soup kitchens, halfway houses, and shelters. You will also organize recreational activities, conduct educational workshops, and prepare and serve meals, among many other tasks. Regardless of the activities in which you participate, you will be an important role model for many young Argentineans.
As a volunteer you can*:
 Organize youth recreational and/or educational activities
Play sports and games with children
Give informal English lessons
Organize book drives
Collect donations of food, clothing, and other materials (crayons, markers, colored paper, notebooks, scissors, pencils, toys, etc.)
Develop and teach special workshops (songs, drama, dance, exercise, photography, drawing, writing, art, languages, etc.)
Prepare and serve snacks and meals
Work on various administrative tasks
Potentially organize field trips
*Exact activities will depend on time of year and duration of project. |

"The volunteer
program [in Argentina] has been one of the greatest
experiences of my life. The children were some
of the sweetest kids and were always eager to
learn. I grew to admire their optimism in a life
and situation that seems could be nothing but
a constant struggle. A
rewarding, life-changing experience such as this
is a necessity in anyone's life."

“My favorite
part of volunteering was the joy I saw in the
kids I worked with. I had a great time planning
the photography class and helping them create
their beautiful photo albums.”

“[I enjoyed] meeting the amazing people behind my particular organization [and] being immersed in Spanish and culture... [The option to combine] language and volunteer was a huge incentive in that it was convenient for first-time travelers.” |
