Human Rights Clinic
 Project Details
This professional community association has a rich history in Buenos Aires. It was first created in 1930 in the neighborhood of La Boca by immigrants and was re-founded in 1996 with the renewed objective to defend and promote human, children, civil, social, political, and cultural rights of its community members. There are many different programs that work with children, women, consumer groups, and other marginalized sectors by providing legal advice and community workshops.
Volunteer Responsibilities
Volunteers are needed to help with client intake, assist in providing legal advice, engage in community outreach and organizing campaigns, assist in the development of workshops, and help with any general duties at the clinic. Volunteers will be interacting on a daily basis with a variety of clients and community members of all ages.

**No meals are served on Sundays.
