Networking is the ability to establish connections with external people or institutions. But it is also about keeping them active to create productive relationships.

Networking is a highly looked skill in the business environment as a commercial feature. But for us, it is a lot more. We believe in networks as a way of growing and working together. For us, it is a collective action. We know that the generation of networks is something that goes beyond community practices. However, it is there where it gains value according to our beliefs. It may sound repetitive, but that's how we think the community grows. Voluntario Global itself is a network. A network of people doing amazing things and inspiring each other. Soup kitchens, community centers, sustainable projects, education placements, health centers, and volunteers from all around the globe. We all have unique perspectives, but we share a goal: we work towards community development. That's what sustains the network. We want volunteers to feel part of this community and be able to understand how the network works. At the same time, volunteers make their network with the people of the project, other volunteers, and any person or institution that makes their experience in this country. Networking is the core skill because it shows that we need each other and that we can't change anything by ourselves. It shows that together we are stronger.

A School Two Blocks Down

  • BYS Academy: The Background

Silvia has the essence of everyone's favorite aunt, greeting you with the hug of a lifelong friend. She is the owner of BYS Academy, an English school she founded in 2005 to create an affordable educational opportunity for the students of her neighborhood, two blocks from Estancia Ing. Pablo Nogués, right behind the small shopping center. Her laughter is the last thing that would tell you how close she came to losing all of it through an economic crisis and without government funding.

Now the school functions as a cooperative in tandem with Voluntario Global. Graduated students return as volunteer teachers to gain work experience for formal jobs. Their work is supplemented by volunteers from Voluntario Global, and this is where Victor and I enter. 

The half of it

By Kylan Denney

Halfway through my internship and teaching experience, I’ve been given more than I thought possible. I’ve been given complexity, understanding and hope in so many different capacities from others and all of it happened through Voluntario Global.

Pensar el voluntariado como una experiencia colectiva

Siempre decimos que el voluntariado es un proceso de aprendizaje, y un proceso de aprendizaje jamás sucede de manera aislada. Por lo tanto el voluntariado también es una experiencia colectiva.
