This private, non-profit organization aims to improve the quality of life of an important area in Córdoba. They started as a small open library located in a poor area on the east side of Córdoba city. Since then, the organization has been very successful in improving the living conditions of the local population, from a cultural, social and economic perspective. The government of Córdoba established a cultural center in the city, and together, they have the capacity to organize different kinds of cultural and educational events.

Where will I be volunteering?

Córdoba is located in the heart of Argentina and is the second largest city in the country. The rich Spanish colonial heritage is still alive, with many old churches and traditional buildings still intact. Córdoba has a vibrant cultural scene, and you will enjoy the famous kindness and hospitality of the "Cordobeses". It is a major cosmopolitan city with all the conveniences that volunteers expect.
