Art and Education Center

Project Details

This center aims to combine art (such as music, alternative education, handicrafts) with social work in order to help children and adults integrate more fully into society. Since its doors have opened in 1993, the Center has grown substantially and has also been internationally recognized for its arts-based approach. The organization has established several cultural centers that put on expositions, music classes, and educational workshops in order to achieve social transformation.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers are welcome to help with general office duties, share their musical or art talent in the cultural centers, teach English lessons, or organize cultural workshops.  This project gives serious volunteers the ability to experience cultural exchange and participate in bringing about societal changes through art.

Location

The project is located in Boulogne, a suburb of Buenos Aires. All volunteers will be taken to their host family upon arrival and given an orientation within the first few days.

Accommodations and Meals

Volunteers will stay with carefully screened host families for the duration of the program. Two meals a day with your host family are included in your stay.

**No meals are served on Sundays.

Requirements

Minimum commitment is 6 months. Experience or education in music and art is helpful. A desire to work with children is a must.  Volunteers must submit their resume along with their application. An intermediate level of Spanish is required. Spanish lessons are available prior to the volunteer project in Buenos Aires for an additional fee.
