Volunteer In Argentina - Work in “intellectual” projects (NGO)
Our local partner is an NGO mainly focused on the training and strengthening of grassroots organizations and micro sized businesses. It helps these organizations with articulating and implementing human, material and technological resources for social development. This line of action mostly involves office/intellectual work that grassroots organizations do not have the expertise and means to perform by themselves.
