Internship with Road2Argentina

If you are looking for a great study abroad time in Latin America, Road2Argentina is the way to go. The program heads work really hard to make sure that you are placed in a comfortable homestay and an applicable internship. Additionally, they have cohort events supplemented by a weekly get together over snacks and Argentinian tea. You always feel like you have someone to count on with this program. It is a great way to explore a beautiful country.

NGO Internship

R2A provided me with the most affordable and flexible programming options available for my desired internship. They ensured I was comfortable with my placement and helped me figure out my way around the city. I really enjoyed my internship at a human rights NGO. Through the program, I participated in activities including a drum show, empanada cooking class, and asado (BBQ) dinner. I was paired at an excellent homestay with a friendly and caring host in a central location in BA that made an enormous impact on my positive experience.

Internship in Buenos Aires

Road2Argentina is a small company, but is always ready to help, 24/7. They offer internships, housing, activities and guidance before and during the program. They helped me with any doubts and made sure everything was ready on time. Will and Simone are always friendly and they make sure you enjoy your experience abroad. If you hesitate, just do it and experience something unforgetable. Definitely worth it!

The last time I did several things for the first time

My experience in Argentina was full of firsts: the first time I traveled outside of the US, the first time I was immersed in a culture that did not speak my native language, the first time I ever took a cab...and Road2Argentina made these firsts a little less scary. From start to finish, they are there to address any concerns and answer any questions you have (naturally I had several). But most of all, they make you feel comfortable in a new, at times intimidating, environment. They perfectly balance a focus on building a community amongst other interns and volunteers through frequent events and excursions, which also provide opportunities to learn about and immerse oneself in Argentine culture, while simultaneously allowing you space to establish your own independence and unique experience abroad through your internship/volunteer placement and housing. I wish I could adequately put into words how much this experience has meant to me with regards to gaining traveling experience, the growth of my Spanish-speaking abilities, and above all, my independence and confidence in myself, and none of that would have been gained if it weren't for Road. Needless to say, Argentina is a beautiful country full of vibrant, passionate people, and if you have any inkling of interest in traveling, interning or volunteering there, contact Road2Argentina.

Amazing Internship at NGO in Buenos Aires

R2A made my experience in Buenos Aires amazing and incredibly easy! They found me a meaningful, legitimate internship at an NGO, where I was able to do hands-on work to directly help the organization's mission. The coordinators helped me with every question I had both before and during my trip, showed me how to use public transportation, planned fun and engaging cultural activities each week, and really created a community feel for all participants. I would highly recommend R2A to anyone who is thinking about doing an internship in Argentina.

hospital internship

I interned for 6 weeks in a local public hospital in Buenos Aires. It was a great experience rotating through pediatrics, obstetrics and nutrition. It was great to see how a hospital in a different country functions and great to improve my Spanish! The events with Road2Argentina were very fun and a great way to experience different things in the city! The coordinators are great guys and very helpful with anything you might need.

Absolutely Incredible

The program coordinators down here, Will and Simon, are fantastic. They're a good mix of professional help in the internship environment and also just friendly and will take the time to help you feel more comfortable. Road to Argentina helped me feel like Buenos Aires was my home and that's how it has felt for weeks now. I really enjoyed the project I got to do in my internship, and the friends I made through Road are great. They have weekly events that are all unique ways to get to know various parts of the city and culture better, and are very welcoming. Overall it has been an incredible experience and I highly recommend this program to anyone interested.

Join a Community in Buenos Aires

The Volunteer program with Road2Argentina is excellent. I had the opportunity to volunteer in two places, as both an english teacher and after school tutor. The volunteer placements were great and allowed to get to work right away and the program supported me at every step.

The best part was to be immediately part of a community of argentines, travelers, and the program directors. It was great to be in a new place but to feel comfortable in a group. It also offered me a lot of flexibility, and I was able to spend a lot of time learning Tango.

I strongly recommend the program to anyone interested in coming to Argentina! I liked it so much I plan to live in Argentina after finishing my degree.

My only critique is that what you make of your program depends on you. It can be easy to spend most of your time with foreigners instead of getting to know the Argentinians. So make sure to step out of your comfort zone.

An unreal experience

I was fortunate enough to come across Road when I was looking for a summer internship and I could not have designed a better experience myself. Will and Simon (program directors) are the perfect combination of friendly and professional and between the weekly cultural events, mate happy hours and the quality of my internship it was a perfect experience. I've been abroad before and the small-group experience that Road provides was the way to go.

Road 2 Argentina Internship

I loved my experience working with Road2Argentina. I spent three months in Buenos Aires working at Directorio Legislativo, a non-profit organization that Road put me in contact with. I not only received credit with my university, but also now have the privilege of listing my internship on my curriculum vitae. This was a major pull for me as most employers would like to see experience as well as academic excellence. I feel that Road2Argentina was the correct choice in pursuing this useful addition to my college resume.
