Our international volunteer program is called «Mensajeros del Mundo»(Messengers of the World) and includes accommodation in our volunteer house. One of the objectives of the program is to train young people to become social leaders. The Mensajeros de la Paz members coexist in a multicultural environment, work as a team to develop tasks or institutional projects, accompany the beneficiaries in their day to day and / or carry out workshops, always collaborating with the needs of our centers and homes.

We are in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The office is located under the house of the volunteers in the street Olegario Andrade 358, in Caballito, a quiet residential neighborhood in the heart of the city. It is 5 minutes walk from Av. Rivadavia, where more than 15 lines of buses and subway line «A» are located.

CASA DEL MUNDO ( THE HOUSE OF THE WORLD)

The International Volunteer Program offers accommodation in our «Casa del Mundo» which has shared rooms, a large living room, a study room, 4 bathrooms, an equipped kitchen and a nice patio with barbecue. In addition we have WiFi and cleaning service of common spaces (although each volunteer is responsible for keeping the house clean).

At home you will meet with young people from all over the world who share the same values of community participation and global citizenship.

From Mensajeros de la Paz we believe that the experience of sharing a space like «Casa del Mundo»(House of the World) not only contributes to personal experiences but also enriches the volunteer.
