Volunteer in Argentina

Breathtaking scenery and diverse landscapes lie in wait for anyone looking to volunteer in Argentina, making it an exciting destination for a volunteer project or overseas work placement. Our specialist voluntary projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, including professionals on a career break, recent graduates or retired seniors.

Combining cultural traditions with strong modern influences, Argentina is an elegant country with a rich history. Having previously suffered from high rates of inflation and severe debt, the country’s economy is rallying and the promise of future growth has intensified the need for skilled volunteers looking for jobs abroad. Unsurprisingly for the second largest country in South America, there is much for the volunteer to explore, ranging from extensive Atlantic coastline through to glaciers, the Andes Mountains, and vast 'Pampas' grasslands.

Volunteer skills required in Argentina

Anyone looking to take part in skilled voluntary work in Argentina will need to be confident, friendly and well-organised, as well as being able to perform well in a team and having an open-minded approach to working in a developing country. Each project has specific requirements regarding qualifications, but any related experience you may have will also be taken into consideration when you apply. Given that communication is a key aspect of building a strong relationship with your project partner, being able to speak Spanish to a good level is a prerequisite for most volunteers in Argentina.

Projects Abroad Pro has several opportunities for skilled volunteering in Argentina. Our projects are based in and around the town of Ville Allende in the province of Cordoba, roughly 700 kilometres from Buenos Aires. The placements involve teaching English in schools, equine therapy and practicing medicine in hospitals and clinics. Each of these projects can be viewed in more detail, along with an in-depth description of the specific qualifications required, by following the links at the top of the page.

Even if you feel you do not possess the required skills or qualifications for these specialist roles, you can still help on the same projects. Please visit our website for more information about volunteering in Argentina.
