Description
Change the lives of Argentina's disadvantaged youth when you volunteer with our Youth Outreach Program in Buenos Aires. As a volunteer, you will help break the cycle of poverty that affects so many of Argentina's underprivileged young people. Working closely with our partner organizations in Buenos Aires, you will have the opportunity to use your skills and talents to help at-risk children and teens reach their full potential.
Volunteers in Argentina have the option of working in a project development capacity or in a more hands-on environment in the field. You can help develop community programs by researching, writing, translating, fundraising, event planning, preparing communication materials, and working on many other projects. Volunteers working on-site will be volunteering at community centers, helping to encourage young entrepreneurs, organizing recreational and educational activities and participating in many other programs. Regardless of the activities you take part in, you will be an important role model for many young Argentineans.

BridgeVolunteers's Mission Statement
The mission of BridgeVolunteers is to create and promote volunteer opportunities that improve the lives of others and the environment in which we live. We seek to achieve this goal by connecting worthy local projects with volunteers around the world. Many local organizations are doing great work in their communities, but don't have the resources required to recruit international volunteers. BridgeVolunteers serves as the link between these organizations and the volunteers needed to make these projects a success. All volunteer programs depend on the skilled coordination of a variety of elements: enthusiastic volunteers, meaningful work, organized projects, and supportive staff. It is our goal at BridgeVolunteers to orchestrate this process for you. We use our global experience and resources to provide volunteer experiences that bring pride and satisfaction to everyone involved.
