Volunteer in Argentina with Gateway Argentina

Gateway Argentina is continuously searching for the best programs available in Buenos Aires for our participants. While there are many volunteer placement agencies in Buenos Aires we have searched extensively to find the agency with the best programs and opportunities for you. We understand the needs of our volunteer participants. We understand that volunteering is a commitment both personally and financially. We want to give you an enriching international experience while providing a program that is well established and deeply rooted in important Argentine social causes. We have chosen a partnership with HelpArgentina because of their powerful commitment to enriching the social sector of Argentina.

About HelpArgentina:
HelpArgentina is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen Argentine civil society through the mobilization of donors and volunteers and the promotion of the best practices. HelpArgentina´s vision is of a competitive, trustworthy and globally financed Argentine social sector. It offers the international community a secure channel to support a network of organizations selected according to social impact, accountability and best practices. HelpArgentina is able to accomplish this mission of promoting social development in Argentina with the generosity and hard work of capable volunteers. Volunteers are placed among one of the 52 organizations represented by HelpArgentina.

How it Works:
Upon receiving confirmation of your interest in volunteering in Buenos Aires you will be sent a volunteer questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is returned to Gateway Argentina we will forward it to our representative at HelpArgentina. By providing us with this questionnaire HelpArgentina is able to outline possible placements for you prior to your arrival and orientation with the social sector experts at HelpArgentina. Once you arrive you will receive a placement orientation with HelpArgentina's volunteer coordinators. Upon completion of your orientation, you will be accompanied to your placement where you will meet fellow volunteers and staff. HelpArgentina volunteer coordinators will be available throughout the duration to assist you with any problems or concerns that way arise.
