Social Work Internships in Argentina

I loved my experience with Mente Argentina! I am in my mid-twenties and recently graduated from college in the US, and Mente helped me set up a prestigious internship in Buenos Aires. I was able to gain valuable work experience and also begin learning Spanish. While in the program, I met some wonderful people that I have kept in touch with for a year now after coming home. It was great to have the Mente program to help me arrange housing and have people to help me navigate moving to a new city and country. Everyone was so nice, and Mente was flexible with what would work best for me. I was also able to have experiences in Buenos Aires that were both authentic to Argentina while also doing many tourist activities through the events that Mente planned each week. I spent 4 months with the Mente Argentina program, and in reality, after 2 months I felt like I could have been on my own. I did the homestay, which was really great, but I didn't know beforehand that I wouldn't be able to use the oven or stove there, so I had to eat out for every meal or have no-cook foods. Overall, I would highly recommend participating in the Mente Argentina program if you are looking for a unique international adventure while still having the safety of a program who knows where you are and can help with anything you need.

I'm more than happy with my internship experience in Dublin, and I'm incredibly grateful for Connect-123 for finding the perfect placement for me. Working at an addiction recovery center gave me valuable insight into the field and allowed me to learn so much about the challenges and rewards of this important work. I also feel that I grew significantly as a person through this experience. I truly appreciate the support that Connect-123 offered during the preparation phase and throughout the entire internship. Thank you Connect-123!
