Intern Requirements

To be part of a healthcare medical program you must be 18 years-old or over. You’ll be required to have adequate travel insurance against sickness, accident and 3rd party liability.

An intermediate understanding of Spanish is extremely helpful. We encourage participants to take advantage of the very affordable language lessons offered by our partner staff in Bariloche. Many of those who have taken part in our projects in the past told us that taking these lessons helped them a lot in everyday volunteer work and to communicate with locals.


Location and duration

CW offers a very attractive and varied number of projects placed both in Buenos Aires and in Bariloche.

Buenos Aires, the capital city of the country, is world famous for its rich and vibrant cultural activity and its European architecture and lifestyle.

This huge city’s high quality entertainment, gastronomic and tourism industries are well renowned, and Tango music and dance shows, football matches, music concerts, theatre plays and cabaret shows are just a few examples of the cultural entertainment you can enjoy there.

Porteños (Buenos Aires born citizens) are proud, friendly, outgoing and passionate people; while gauchos (rural people of the Pampas farming and cattle lands), though also proud in a shyer way, are very hospitable, sensitive and charming.

You can start any day you choose and stay from one week on, for as long as you wish.

 


Orientation:

A pick up service at the airport is included in the program fee and clear instructions on how to reach the pick up location is detailed in the Pre-departure guide delivered to interns by CW once their place in the program is secured.

Volunteers and interns will be driven from the airport to their accommodations. Our orientation meeting will be at VOS Spanish School, where they’ll meet Maggie, a member of our local team who will fill them in with basic tips on what to expect of their experience, general roiles, regional and local customs, and provide them with some useful travelling advice. Every intern will receive a welcome pack that contains a local sim phone card, a map and a transports guide.



A volunteer’s typical week in Buenos Aires

Our participants working schedules vary according to the project they choose, but if you have any special requests please let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule in accordance to your needs.

A typical weekday begins with breakfast at 8:00 AM and then a commuting of half to one hour busride to your project placement. Work stats at about 9:00 AM and depending on the daily requirements  of each project, the working day finishes between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. There are some breaks during the day and after work volunteers are free to enjoy themselves together and with their new local friends, go downtown, do some sightseeing, shopping and taking advantage of the immense offer of entertainment available all year round in “the city that never sleeps!”

Weekends are left free for most projects, though a few may require some working hours on Saturdays.
