Terms & Conditions

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERING

It is understood that Voluntario Global helps to coordinate the project you volunteer for but it is not responsible for the actions of neither the volunteer nor the organization they are working for.

Voluntario Global is not a service provider, therefore, what you pay is a donation to our organization that helps sustain the network of projects we work with.

Voluntario Global is not responsible for loss of property, personal injury, illness, accident, delay or expense sustained by the volunteer while participating in the program.

Voluntario Global requires the volunteer to have adequate medical insurance for the duration of the program and must be provided with details of such insurance coverage at the time of confirming their placement.

Volunteers should be in sufficient physical and mental health to participate in the Program and do not have any physical or mental conditions which could affect their ability to participate in the Program.

Voluntario Global does NOT provide any insurance coverage for the participant or their property in connection with their participation in the Program. Volunteers acknowledge that they are responsible for their safety and own health care needs.

Daily transportation costs and meals are the volunteers' responsibility.

Volunteers agree to follow the laws of the host country, the policies of the community in which they serve, and the rules of the host family, failure to do so will result in their expulsion without notice or refunds.

A non-refundable deposit of the 15% of the total amount you will donate to your program is required along with your confirmation email. We begin the confirmation process once the deposit has been received. The balance of the donation is due before you start your program.

If you wish to make changes to your placement once it has been confirmed, Voluntario Global will use reasonable efforts to make the changes. Depending on the case, Voluntario Global reserves the right to apply any additional charges.

Volunteers agree that no part of the donation fee is refundable once the program has started. We have a non-disclosure contract with each project, so we are not able to provide personal information about the projects before the volunteer contract in Argentina is signed.

ACCOMMODATION

We have partnered with Milhouse Hostel to offer our volunteers affordable and reliable accommodation options in Buenos Aires. However, volunteers can choose to make her own arrangements for accommodation.

Even if the pickup service is not requested, the volunteer must always inform Voluntario Global about the arrival time and date via e-mail or telephone at least 72 h in advance. If the requested information is not provided, we cannot guarantee that someone will be waiting at the accommodation for the volunteer upon arrival.

If you decide to travel during your stay in Buenos Aires, the nights you spent outside the Accommodation which you have already booked, will not be reimbursed. So please make any travel arrangements before or after your volunteer placement.

You can arrive earlier or leave after you finish your volunteer program, as long as you have paid for these extra nights.

In order to make extensions, you will need to send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. stating the dates you want to extend your stay for and pay a new deposit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to assure a pleasant stay, Voluntario Global has established behavior rules applicable at the accommodation as well as volunteer, apprenticeships or any other VG program. In case of breaking the rules, Voluntario Global has the right to cancel the program with no refund possibilities.
