ARGENTINA is the second largest country in South America and borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. With an enormously varied climate, travelers can visit sub-Antarctic rainforests, tropical jungles, mountains, beaches, desert red canyons and awesome waterfalls. The population is almost all of European descent.
Volunteer and Internship placements are offered in Buenos Aires and Cordoba.
Buenos Aires is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and offers an endless variety of things to do. However, among the high rises, chic shops and fabulous cultural offerings, there is a large portion of the about 13 million inhabitants that struggle daily to survive. You can do your bit by helping in a free dental clinic, in various daycare and after-school projects for at-risk youth, or at a re-integration project for ex-prisoners. Professional and Business Internships can be organized in almost every imaginable field.
You could also volunteer or intern in and around Cordoba, a university city of 1.5 million with an active nightlife and many colonial buildings. It’s a good place to get to know Argentine life. Here you can work with toddlers, at-risk children, adolescents, women, the unemployed and the elderly. Those with a healthcare background can help out in clinics and hospitals. Cordoba also offers professional internships.
