Project Description
Fundacion AFOS provides volunteer, internship and learn Spanish opportunities and cultural immersion in Argentina. Our programs are extremely affordable (as we are an Argentinian non profit) and provide participants with an unforgettable personal and professional experience.
Projects are diverse, ranging anywhere from helping children in poor settings to assisting in strategic planning and marketing. For each of these projects we combine Fundacion AFOS's experience and resources with the help of foreign and local volunteers and interns who contribute their time, energy and know-how to support our mission. Practically any knowledge, ability, skill, talent or capacity can, somehow, help those who need it.
