Social Support Center
 Project Details
Founded in Sante Fe, Argentina in 1966, this NGO has since spread to all major cities around the country helping many Argentine families and communities. Its goal is to serve the most vulnerable sector of society, a portion of the population which unfortunately continues to grow. By providing educational, emotional, and financial support services to children, adults, elderly and the disabled, the center serves as a focal point in their lives. Through organized sports activities, professional day-care services, and a free health care clinic, the members are able to have many basic needs met while also spending time together, growing as a community.
Volunteer Responsibilities
Volunteers will enjoy the organized atmosphere at the center while working on projects with all age groups. Help is needed with sports activities, in the day-care, teaching English, constructing age-appropriate educational workshops, and most importantly, sharing your smile with the community.
Location
The project is located in the Microcentro neighborhood in Buenos Aires City. 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 8 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 Buenos Aires for an additional fee.
