Play and Learn Center for Children
Project Details
This project was started over 12 years ago to provide educational support to children living in the neighborhood of Las Violetas. The Center believes that high quality education should be accessible to everyone, no matter his or her financial status. It is officially recognized bythe Argentine government for its dedication to serving the community in need. With aprofessional day-care, a center for adolescents offering workshops and leisure activities,  and a homework support center, the project is giving the impoverished children of the community hope for their future.
Volunteer Responsibilities
Help is needed with after-school tutoring and homework support, organizing recreational activities, assisting in developmental workshops for the adolescents, general support in the day-care center, and providing guidance to children in their every day activities. Volunteers play an important role in the children’s lives through their positive encouragement.
Location
The project is located in the city of Cordoba, about 10 hours northwest 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 2 weeks. Experience or education in counseling, teaching and/or childcare is helpful, but not required. An intermediate level of Spanish is required. Spanish lessons are available prior to the volunteer project in Cordoba for an additional fee.
