Five reasons to intern with us!

An Argentina internship just for you. With a variety of options all supported by directly-employed local staff, we will work with you to provide an Argentina internship project that fits your interests and goals. Argentina combines European influences with South American traditions, and is a very welcoming, friendly country to tourists. What's not to like?

When do you want to arrive in Argentina? Start your internship any day you want and choose how long you want to stay. Our flexible options mean you will receive an internship project in Argentina tailored to your unique goals.

Your home in Argentina will be a home away from home. Living with a local host family allows you to settle in and immerse yourself in the local culture for a more complete experience. Perfect for learning Spanish and picking up a local Argentinian style accent. When your internship in Argentina is over, take time to visit a ranch in Pampas, spot whales in Valdes and check out the famous Iguazu Falls. Your new found Spanish language skills will surely come in handy!

You'll make friends from Argentina, and from all corners of the world. Live and work in the same community as other Projects Abroad volunteers from over 40 countries. We will make sure you get to know each other.

All in one price. Prices for our internships in Argentina include all of your major in-country expenses and pre-departure guidance. You just have to worry about purchasing your flight to Argentina. We will book that for you too if you want.

An amazing experience in Argentina!

I went to Cordoba, Argentina this past summer on a "two-week special" trip with Projects Abroad. More specifically it was a Care and Spanish trip, which means we volunteered with youth there in the afternoons while taking classes in the mornings. It was an absolutely amazing opportunity. I got to meet so many new people (people from all over the world came together to volunteer there), do so many new and fun things, experience a new culture, and volunteer my time for those less fortunate than myself. It was truly eye opening, as international travel always is.
Projects Abroad did a great job balancing education, experience, social events, and immersion. They orchestrated great "socials" which were nights where all of the volunteers met up to enjoy time together doing something specific to Argentina or the city itself. For our trip we got to have an asado, which is a sort of Argentine barbeque, and we took tango-dancing classes. The classes were also really helpful. There were teachers for all different levels of Spanish (for full immersion or just beginning) and they really care about developing the students' ability to speak Spanish and speak it well.
I would definitely recommend this organization and country to anyone looking to do something of this sort. I did look into other companies before deciding on Projects Abroad, and though I can't vouch for those companies, I can assure you Projects Abroad is professional, enjoyable, educational, and an all-around great experience. I don't even have any complaints about the trip or organization! The only reason I gave the 8 stars for support was because it was a tad difficult getting in contact with the Projects Abroad office in Argentina (not because of them, but simply because of time-zone differences).
If you're interested in seeing a little bit about the trip in video form, I've posted a video I put together to highlight some great parts of this country and trip. Check it out if you'd like!

Critical Feedback:

If I had to change one thing about this program it would probably be the pre-trip preparation. I know in part the reason why I didn't feel very prepped would be my own lack of preparation, but I felt like they could have sent us more detailed maps/schedules/things to bring for our volunteer work/and other things like that. They did great once we got there, but I sort of felt like I was coming in a little less prepared than I like to be.
