The Community Centre, located in the working-class neighbourhood of La Boca, is one of Voluntario Global’s longest-standing affiliations.  The centre has gone from strength to strength even in tough circumstances and now has a number of different facilities, including a soup kitchen, English language school, radio and fabric workshop.  This week one of our volunteers visited the centre to help out with an English class and meet the Community Center team.               

The centre provides free English language courses two times a week for members of the local community. Where volunteers can help teaching English. Wilf, a volunteer from the UK, was helping out with the class. Mechi, the English teacher, has been going to the Community Centre for most of her life.  It is also where she learnt English!

If you're thinking of coming to Argentina, places like this Community Center in La Boca are always in need of new volunteers who like the idea of teaching english.  Voluntario Global has a number of teaching and other projects around Buenos Aires; don't miss the opportunity for an incredible experience with us!

A School Two Blocks Down

  • BYS Academy: The Background

Silvia has the essence of everyone's favorite aunt, greeting you with the hug of a lifelong friend. She is the owner of BYS Academy, an English school she founded in 2005 to create an affordable educational opportunity for the students of her neighborhood, two blocks from Estancia Ing. Pablo Nogués, right behind the small shopping center. Her laughter is the last thing that would tell you how close she came to losing all of it through an economic crisis and without government funding.

Now the school functions as a cooperative in tandem with Voluntario Global. Graduated students return as volunteer teachers to gain work experience for formal jobs. Their work is supplemented by volunteers from Voluntario Global, and this is where Victor and I enter. 

The half of it

By Kylan Denney

Halfway through my internship and teaching experience, I’ve been given more than I thought possible. I’ve been given complexity, understanding and hope in so many different capacities from others and all of it happened through Voluntario Global.

Pensar el voluntariado como una experiencia colectiva

Siempre decimos que el voluntariado es un proceso de aprendizaje, y un proceso de aprendizaje jamás sucede de manera aislada. Por lo tanto el voluntariado también es una experiencia colectiva.
