Día típico

A typical day for a volunteer in the Youth Outreach Program includes some hours of volunteering paired with free Mente activities in order to get to know Buenos Aires and socialize with other participants.

In the morning, the volunteer usually meets with the volunteer coordinator and their fellow volunteers and start the day together, organizing their activities and schedules. They might for example meet up around 9AM, plan the activities in order to support the students and help the moms of the community with the smaller children. Those volunteers who arrange cultural and educational activities for older students will work during the afternoons, helping the students with their homework when they finish school and offering workshops and other activities, depending on their personal interests. After traveling home to their apartments or host families, the volunteers can enjoy their free time and join the free Mente Argentina activities such as city tours, happy hours and meet ups.
