Volunteering Programs on Help Argentina


Our Program

InsightArgentina is the volunteer program of HelpArgentina. InsightArgentina facilitates the link between international volunteers and a diverse group of Argentine non-profit organizations. Through this program, we promote the development and growth of a community that is committed to the Argentine social sector.

By customizing every volunteer placement, we provide impactful and enlightening experiences to those who seek to explore Argentina life, integrate themselves in Argentine society, and to become acquainted with some of Argentina's most pressing social issues.

Volunteering in Argentina!

"Before coming to Argentina, I quit my job in advertising to explore other worlds and discover different types of jobs where I could put my energy and feel more fulfilled. For a few years, I have thought about being a teacher, but after six weeks of being a fly on the wall at the school, and observing how the Fundación works, I have decided that when I return to my country, I would like to get my teaching degree", says Alice, who volunteered in Patagonia, in a School for rural and indigenous communities.

Volunteer placements are for those who want to work with a non-profit organization. InsightArgentina's expansive network of non-profit organizations enables volunteers to indicate their preferences regarding their experience.

Previous volunteer tasks have ranged from teaching English and organizing recreational activities at local community centers to youth outreach, fundraising, or working on marketing and communication strategies for the host organization.

Volunteers must be over eighteen years of age, stay for a minimum of one month, and have a basic knowledge of Spanish.

Interested applicants are required to fill out an application form and submit a resume prior to acceptance into the program. We will take your language ability, length of desired placement, career goals, work experience, and coursework into account when considering your placement. This allows us to find the best fit for you based on your interests and the needs of the host-organization.
