The Mensajeros of the world live in a multicultural environment, work together to perform tasks or institutional projects, accompanying beneficiaries in their daily tasks or through workshops and collaborate with the needs of our schools and homes. The aim of the program is to train young people to be social leaders.

Volunteers get the opportunity to work in:

  • Meeting place for senior citizens
  • Senior residence for female senior citizens
  • A children’s home for girls in critical family situation
  • A youth center
  • Besides, the volunteers can participate in the area of public relations and marketing of the NGO e. g. promoting our latest campaign “Niños Solidarios” (solidary children).

We consider that the volunteers living and working together will show a good example for our society. The “Mensajeros del Mundo” live in a multicultural environment, they work together to succeed in solving social problems, the volunteers help up with urgent necessaries in the social centers and realize workshops.

It is an experience which permits you to get to know a new culture, to practice Spanish and to live with other international volunteers in a family atmosphere. Furthermore the voluntary service offers you the unique experience of helping to improve the lives of more than 200 people in need in our social centers. Thanks to volunteers like you Mensajeros de la Paz can help those who need it the most.

 

You can help by:

  • organizing campaigns for the seniors, children and youths
  • realizing or participating in workshops
  • handling tasks of the NGO together with the staff like organizing funds, marketing, events or social networks
  • offering private lessons for poor children
  • participating in promoting events
  • helping to preserve the garden of the senior residence or helping in the kitchen

All new volunteers are accompanied by the coordinator of the programme and by the directors of the centers.

 

The Programme: Living in the “Casa del Mundo”

The House of volunteers and the office of the NGO are situated in Buenos Aires, Capital of Argentina. You will find the building in the beautiful quarter Caballito, very close to the city center. In five minutes walking distance you reach the big avenue “Rivadavia” where pass more than 15 bus lines and the metro line A.

Buenos Aires is an amazing place with thousands of opportunities for example cultural events, fiesta or free education offers. A city with a unique atmosphere which never sleeps is waiting for you.

The “Casa del Mundo” has five shared dormitories, a big living room, a study room, four bathrooms, a big kitchen, and a beautiful yard with a grill. Furthermore we have free wifi and weekly cleaning service for the common rooms (nevertheless the volunteers are as well in charge for the housekeeping). Here you will find young people with the same values and interests in sharing the same space and participating in a cultural exchange. We believe that this sharing experience is a benefit for the personal development of the volunteers and also enriches the voluntary.
