Volunteered 6 weeks in Córdoba, Argentina

I spent 6 weeks in Córdoba, Argentina as a sports volunteer. Even though school was not in session, I was able to attend 3 different sports camps and even volunteered at a soup kitchen. The experience was rewarding, allowed me to practice my imperfect Spanish and I met fellow volunteers from around the world.

The local team opened their home and hearts to the volunteers and made us feel welcome, answered our multiple questions to the best of their ability and created a safe and fun environment for all.

It was my first volunteer experience abroad and it won't be my last!

My volunteer experience in Cordoba, Argentina

Support from the online coordinator was great, always replied to emails soon and with helpful answers; and the local team was so friendly and kind and really made it feel like home! This was my first time volunteering so I was fairly unsure of what to expect but I enjoyed it so much and would definitely go through IVHQ again! I initially joined to do childcare, In my first week I helped out at a kid’s camp but due to that camp ending the local team was really helpful and quickly found me another placement to volunteer at that would suit me. meeting new people in the homestay was great and you quickly become friends with them for the trip or to also keep in contact after. I loved being able to have free time to choose what to do and where to go and being able to visit amazing places and immerse myself in a new culture!

Host family was fantastic!

Best part of this trip was getting to experience the culture of the Argentinian people by living with the host family. No better way to learn about a new country than to spend time with the locals. Even got to attend an Argentinian futbol game with the family. That was crazy exciting!

I had a few time constraints that normally would have been a problem with volunteering, but the volunteer programs in Cordoba (Argentina) were flexible enough to work out my issues. I was actually able to test a variety of volunteer programs.

I normally travel to new countries on my own, and save a lot of money that way. This program was more expensive than my usual travels, but I highly recommend.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Argentinian futbol game.

Medical Volunteer in Argentina! A DREAM!

My volunteer experience was great! From day 1 the local team was very attentive to my arrival and my needs, even before arriving in the country they were very kind; I should mention that the other volunteers also helped me develop in the country and get to know the culture. My medical volunteer experience helped me not only connect with people but also improve my skills as a doctor and have more humanity in my profession.

The local team and my coordinator were always attentive to me, it felt like a family, and every day was a new experience that I will take with me. It was definitely a very nice experience and I am grateful to the team and the coordinators, not only did I learn about a new country and its customs but I also took away a better development as a doctor and a lot of love for the country.

What was your funniest moment?
THE MOST FUNNY MOMENT WAS WHEN ALL THE VOLUNTEERS HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE BREAKFAST TOGETHER AND SHARE ABOUT OUR PROYECTS AND OUR COUNTRIES
Pros
  • FUN
  • A GOOD IMPACT IN SOCIETY

IVHQ is the dream team!

IVHQ made my overseas adventure much less stressful! The organization was appreciated by all the members of my group. Looking forward to working with them again! I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina and it was life changing. Through IVHQ I got to impact the local community and volunteer in rural communities. I truly will use this amazing and life changing experience for the planning of future volunteer trips. I know that IVHQ cares about its participants and I will never use a different company because of the commitment they show.

What was your funniest moment?
My group walked through a park that had just been sprayed for mosquitoes so we had mosquitoes ALL over us! Definitely a core memory!

Cordoba teaching

My time in Argentina was fantastic and on the way home I managed to spend some time in Santiago, Chile. The local team were helpful and supportive as well as wecoming and friendly. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I made some new friends with other volunteers and got to work with some great kids. Its something I will never forget and I am already planning my next trip although I am having trouble deciding where to go. The travel time was diificult from the UK but was more than worth it for the experience as it was my first time in South America.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Dont expect 5* accomodation.
Pros
  • fantastic experience
  • Great people. Locals and volunteers
  • Travel

IVHQ volunteer Argentina

I volunteered in Argentina and loved almost every moment of it. As a non speaking Spanish person the first day at the program was a bit much as no one spoke English but as the days went on we were able to connect with clients and employees despite the language barrier. I was impressed with IVHQ they were diligent from the start and were great to connect us to the local program coordinators who were always there to help. Our placement was wonderful, I didn’t enjoy that supper was served at 9:00 pm but that is the custom there so I got used to it.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I tried goat. I wasn’t really a fan but I don’t care for meat in general but I was in Argentina and our guide said try the little goat….so I tried the little goat.

Community Outreach in Cordoba

I had a great experience volunteering in La Calera with Asociacion Corazon Contento. It was a pleasure to help the community and cook food for them. I was welcomed by Pedro & Nati in their warm home. They all welcomed me as their family and I'm grateful for that! I had the chance to practice a lot my spanish, discover the mountains in La Cumbrecita, spend a weekend in the beautiful Buenos Aires, meet people from different countries and more. It was an experience who made me grow personnaly. I really recommend this program!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My biggest advice for future volunteers is to take a day at a time and adapt to the culture. In this way you will gain trust from the community and be able to do more and more everyday in your project!
Pros
  • Pedro and Nati's Home & family
  • Estella & Romina good energies (owner of the asociacion)
  • Food
Cons
  • Distance between home and project
  • Mayebe more hours per day in the project

Questions & Answers

Hi Alvaro, While visa, flights, travel insurance are not included in the program fees, we understand that one of the biggest costs when preparing for a volunteer trip abroad are the flights. To help overcome this, International Volunteer HQ has partnered with STA Travel to create flight itineraries especially for IVHQ volunteers. You can find more details on our website.
