About IFRE's Argentina Volunteer Program (in General)
How long has IFRE been working in Argentina ? Whom do you work with? Where are you located? What are IFRE's programs?
IFRE has been running volunteer projects for a number of years all over Latin America . We work with a number of NGOs, governmental organizations, non-profits and communities. IFRE's volunteer projects in Argentina are located in C ó rdoba. The city of C ó rdoba boasts a number of exciting opportunities for volunteers wanting to see a city with a bright future which still maintains reverberations of its colonial and culture-rich past. C ó rdoba's plentiful cultural has produced a number of influential writers, its own musical styles (known as ‘the cuarteto' in addition to tastes of classical, jazz, rock, pop and electronic), abundant monuments, lively festivals, enthralling theaters and a pulsing nightlife. Volunteers reside in accommodations which are located just minutes from the downtown area. This unique living situation is often quite conducive to fellow volunteers becoming acquainted with each other. Furthermore, Spanish AND Tango lessons are provided for participants in these living accommodations which also conveniently double as our local operator's headquarters – ensuring constant contact with in-country coordinators.
Currently, IFRE offers the following projects in Argentina : Disadvantaged Children/Children At-Risk, English-Teaching, Children with Disabilities, as well as NGO Projects within the fields of Human and Environmental Rights.
ALSO: IFRE offers free Spanish and Tango lessons to participants volunteering in Argentina (which is HIGHLY recommended due to the language barrier existing between non-Spanish speaking volunteers and the project's existing staff members).
