Spanish Learning and Volunteer Program in Buenos Aires
Volunteering in Buenos Aires is a great way to give back to a community, help others, and also help you in your future endeavors. Whether you wish to work with kids or volunteer helping the poor here are a couple key points to keep in mind when picking a volunteer program abroad.
- Research the causes or issues important to you. Look for a group or organization that works for issues which you feel strongly about. The more involved you are in the issue the better. There is a slot of information available on the internet, so research and find a cause that you wish to work for then research further into the different organizations in the area and see which one might be best for you.
- Consider the skills you have to offer. If you enjoy outdoor work, have a knack for teaching, or just enjoy interacting with people, you may want to look for volunteer work that would incorporate these aspects of your personality.
- Would you like to learn something new? Perhaps you would like to learn a new skill or gain exposure to a new situation. Consider seeking a volunteer opportunity where you'll learn something new. For example, volunteering to work on a website for a Spanish school will improve your writing and editing abilities - skills that may help you in your career.
- Combine your goals. Look for volunteer opportunities that will also help you achieve your other goals for your life. For example, if you want to lose a few extra pounds, pick an active volunteer opportunity, such as cleaning a park or working with kids.
It is also a great idea to combine your volunteer program with Spanish immersion courses in Buenos Aires. Our Spanish immersion courses here at our Spanish school in Buenos Aires are an intensive 10 hour per week course taught in communicative Spanish by native Spanish teachers from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Spain and/or Latin America armed with a vast experience on teaching the Spanish language to foreign students (non-native Spanish speakers). All our Spanish immersion courses at Íbero will enable the student to achieve a level defined as ¨independent user¨ by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

The Teach Buenos Aires Volunteer Program: Empowering Through English
Teach Buenos Aires is dedicated to empowering people of all ages from vulnerable communities across Buenos Aires. Its mission is to provide quality English education to open doors to new opportunities. Volunteers are at the heart of this mission. In the afternoons, they teach English classes across various English language schools in Buenos Aires, becoming mentors who build student confidence and skills. Responsibilities include assisting teachers in classrooms (in-person and online) for weekly English lessons primarily for children and low-income communities (15 hours per week), teaching your own English classes, and assisting Community English Volunteer projects at nearby community centers. You'll also provide English learning activities for children at local schools.
This program seeks native or fluent English speakers (21-40 years old) with a 2-month commitment. A TEFL, CELTA, teaching degree, or similar certification is required, and a laptop is compulsory for online classes. This is a chance to gain valuable, hands-on teaching experience in both in-person and online settings, enhance your resume with international teaching experience, and directly contribute to local educational efforts.
