Volunteer at Daycare Project - Volunteer with disadvantaged children

In the aftermath of Argentina's economic meltdown of the late 90s, a large number of non profits were created to feed and take care of children in very poor neighborhoods whose parents cannot otherwise provide for their basic needs such as food, education, clothing and health. At present, these nonprofits provide meals and after school programs to support to many children and adolescents from 4 to 16 yeas old, usually more than 40-50 per location. Role of the volunteer ... • Recreation: organization of recreational and educational activities such as crafts, sports, music or others. • School support: tutoring children in their assignments and understanding the educational content learned in elementary or high school. • Teaching English: Language teaching to children between 6 and 16 years old, with no knowledge of it. Volunteers should have previous training such as TEFL or similar.

Fundacion AFOS - Argentina

FundaciĆ³n AFOS (Assistance for the Fortification of Social Organizations) provides free management and structural assistance to support small and mid-sized non-profits (NGOs) in Argentina. In addition to lacking operational expertise, these local NGOs are also generally in desperate need of capable and committed volunteers an interns not only to work directly in their programs but also to help them become stronger, more sustainable and better able to serve their communi...ties. To help these local NGO’s fill this gap we recruit international volunteers and interns and matches them to a program that interests them and where their knowledge and skills can provide the maximum positive impact.
