Description

Founded in Sante Fe, Argentina in 1966, this NGO has since spread to all major cities around the country helping many Argentine families and communities. Its goal is to serve the most vulnerable sector of society, a portion of the population which unfortunately continues to grow. By providing educational, emotional, and financial support services to children, adults, elderly and the disabled, the center serves as a focal point in their lives. Through organized sports activities, professional day-care services, and a free health care clinic, the members are able to have many basic needs met while also spending time together, growing as a community.

Volunteers will enjoy the organized atmosphere at the center while working on projects with all age groups. Help is needed with sports activities, in the day-care, teaching English, and constructing age-appropriate educational workshops.
