Major FAQ-Argentina
Field Support and Supervision
How does IFRE helps me when I am in the field? How can I maintain communication? Do you visit me?
Once the volunteer program starts, our local staff members stay in touch with volunteers. We visit our volunteers every 2 weeks (if possible) and you are always welcome at the office. We recommend that the volunteers stop by the office once a week if they are in the local area just to let us know how they are doing with their home stay and project. Many minor issues can be overcome through a little communication long before they become major issues – ensuring that your trip is exactly what you had hoped for. Your project will have local staff members as well, though not our own. If your project is very far, then our local staff maintains communication by either email and/or phone. We are available to you at the office, by email, and by phone for your entire trip. It is our job to make sure that you are safe and healthy. Being that volunteers usually stay within a guesthouse which also doubles as the headquarters for our Argentinean coordinators, volunteers have direct contact with their coordinators.
