City-based social programs in Córdoba and Buenos Aires.
Ways to get involved in Argentina
Here's what our partners are running right now. Pick a placement that looks like a fit and we'll send the current dates and costs.
Why AmeriCorps alumni choose Argentina
Argentina is a good fit for alumni who want an urban placement with real infrastructure around it. Córdoba is a university city, so the volunteer and intern community skews young and social, and the work runs through established neighborhood organizations: childcare, youth sport, social inclusion, and teaching. Buenos Aires adds arts, media, and social-justice placements. Spanish here has its own accent and rhythm, which is a plus if you want a language challenge. Longer placements are available, so if you're using a full award to fund an extended stay, this is one of the destinations that can absorb it.
- Urban placements with strong local partners
- Long placements available for full-award stays
- Youth, sport, and social inclusion focus
Placements run through International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ) and Intern Abroad HQ.

If you're using your Segal Education Award
Award funds have to go to a Title IV school, so your placement needs to carry academic credit. That required academic credit and enrollment fee starts at $999 and is on top of the program fees above. We'll walk you through it.
Fees change through the year. Ask us for the current Argentina numbers and we'll confirm them with the partner before you apply.
