Volunteer Commitment

Women at one of the organizations we work with.Our methodology is based on the idea of Responsible Volunteerism. This means that volunteers are much more than free labor for social organizations; responsible volunteerism creates mutually beneficial value for both the volunteer and organization. In the short term, responsible volunteering results in a network of involved and engaged citizens; in the long term, it often acts as the platform from which is created a lasting commitment with the social sector. It also is a first step towards a rich and lasting friendship between volunteers and their host organizations.

While in Argentina, volunteers also have certain responsibilties which include:

  • To provide his/her services freely and for purely altruistic purposes, with no intention of remuneration.
  • Volunteer for a minimum of one month in the host organization.
  • If, due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness or a change in travel plans, a participant is unable to fulfill his or her commitment on any given day, he or she MUST let an InsightArgentina representative know 24 hours in advance.
  • An International Emergency Insurance, or insurance that covers program participants in case of an emergency during their time abroad only, is required. Many insurance plans already include this; program participants should check with their providers before purchasing a new plan. InsightArgentina can provide suggestions for International Emergency Insurance providers if needed.
  • Sign a contract with HelpArgentina before starting his/her Volunteer Program, which states the things described above.
