SOCIO EDUCATIONAL CENTRE
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In Argentina, 6 out of every 10 children and adolescents up to 17 years old are living in poverty and struggle to fully access the necessary food, education, and healthcare.
Volunteering for this project connects you with the community on a deeper level. You will have the opportunity to interact with diverse groups of people, learn about their stories, and build meaningful relationships. This engagement fosters a sense of belonging and a greater understanding of societal issues.
This experience is not only about helping others but also about personal growth, cultural exchange, and contributing to positive social change. It offers the chance to develop a wide range of skills, from teaching and mentoring to communication and teamwork. These skills can enhance your personal and professional growth and make you more adaptable and capable in various situations.
💼 What the programme involves
This project plays a vital role in addressing social inequalities, promoting education, and fostering community development by combining educational strategies with a focus on broader social transformation. The project takes a holistic approach by considering not only educational needs, but also social, emotional, and psychological well-being.
Every day, the organization coordinate social, artistic, and educational workshops for kids and teenagers. Volunteers assist teachers in enhancing the children's competence and awareness in social areas, such as understanding and following societal rules, adjusting their behaviour to various situations, problem-solving, and empathizing with others.
Volunteers also help with homework and participate in art classes. Supporting the children in these areas is vital to giving them the best chance of living independently in the future.
Volunteer work hours range from 20-25 hours per week, with morning and/or afternoon shifts, depending on organizational needs.
