Volunteering Gap Year Programs Career Break / Mid-Career

I did a marine conservation internship at Legend Diving and it was an incredible experience. The most powerful part was seeing marine life up close and knowing I was actively helping them. Planting coral felt like I was contributing to a real, living ecosystem, and the feeling of seeing a manta ray or a sea turtle in the wild after learning how to identify them was just pure magic!! The team was fantastic and made the learning feel both fun and meaningful. If you're passionate about marine conservation and want to do more than just observe, I would highly recommend this internship. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.

During my GAP year after highschool I spent two months with Mente. From the start they were very supportive, helping with any questions I had and finding the perfect voluntary work. I was able to work with kids, as I had hoped and it turned out to not only be very fun but also an opportunity to learn a lot about the country, the culture and general life questions. Mente also provided me with an apartment in one of the best neighborhoods of the city were I was able to meet others from different countries. Mente also did a great job on organizing events, were we got to explore the city, get amazing food and meet others in the program which really helped me to find friends. Without Mente my time in Argentina wouldn’t have been nearly as special as it was and I would always recommend them.
