Volunteer in a Daycare Center in Córdoba, Argentina

The goal of this project is to provide community development assistance to a Daycare Center in Villa Allende. Volunteers will assist the staff and act as role models for these children. Each volunteer will be involved in helping the children with their homework, leading recreational activities, and assisting the staff in meal preparation and cleaning. The daycare has capacity of up to 300 children who are all disabled, disadvantaged, or orphaned. Unfortunately, the project has a lack of financial support from the government and is in need of volunteers.

Where will I be volunteering?

You will be volunteering in Villa Allende, located in the beautiful backdrop of the Sierras Chicas Mountains. The peaceful, natural landscape allows rest and tranquility within the Village. People from all parts of Argentina, escape to Villa Allende to improve their quality of life. Villa Allende is very close to Córdoba, the second largest city in the country. The rich Spanish colonial heritage is still alive, with many old churches and traditional buildings still intact. Córdoba has a vibrant cultural scene, and you will enjoy the famous kindness and hospitality of the "Cordobeses". It is a major cosmopolitan city with all the conveniences that volunteers expect.

What am I going to be doing?

You will assist the staff at the Daycare Center and become directly involved with the lives of many children both academically and emotionally. You will contribute your creativity and talents, and become a role model, a mentor, and a friend.

What is required to volunteer on this project?

  • Language Requirement: Intermediate Spanish
    However, you can still join this project if your Spanish does not meet the requirements by taking our Spanish language course.
  • Must be 18 or older.
