International Internship Programs by Mente Argentina

Mente Argentina is a fantastic experience from start to finish. This is the second time I have used them and I could not recommend them enough. All the members of staff are so welcoming and supportive, and are fantastic with not only helping you find the right experience, but also settling into life in Argentina! The many different types of courses they offer appeal to everyone, and the internship they helped me choose was a perfect fit and I had such a wonderful time. The activities they offer help you get to know everyone which makes being alone in Argentina a much better experience!

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 had the incredible opportunity to spend three months with Mente at the start of this year, and the experience was truly unforgettable! As part of my university degree, we were required to spend time abroad in an internship, and Mente made this transition so smooth and effortless. They took the time to find an internship that not only aligned perfectly with my personal interests but also met my university’s specific requirements—making the entire process seamless. During my stay, I lived in a shared apartment, which was a great way to meet new people from different backgrounds. The location was perfect, and it allowed me to explore the city in my free time. One of my favourite parts was the weekly activities organised by Mente. They were always engaging, never repetitive, and catered to a variety of interests. The group meals were my personal favourite—everyone had the chance to get to know each other over delicious food, and we were always spoiled for choice! Throughout my time abroad, Mente was incredibly supportive, always available to answer any questions or ease any concerns I had. Ultimately, it was an amazing experience and I can't recommend them enough!

I did a 4 months internship abroad through Mente Argentina and it was a great experience. my internship was at Vice Argentina and they are an event planning organization so I was able to plan events for international students she's very fun opportunity taught me a lot of things and also I got to meet a ton of people. about 2 months into my 4 month internship I inquired with them if I could also do something else while I was there and they were more than happy to set me up so I actually was able to volunteer at an orphanage as well which was a very very very cool experience not to mention all the people I've met that we're still friends to this day I have probably a place to sleep in almost every single country in the world and I got super super immersed into the Argentine culture which was amazing

Mente is an amazing organization to do your internship through. I did my internship at an NGO for 4 1/2 months. Initially only 3 months were planned, but I ended up extending because I loved it so much! At the beginning I had one week of Spanish classes and then started the internship. Before I came to Argentina I had already been in close contact with the coordinators and choose the organization where I had my internship at together. The internship was a great experience, the environment in the office was amazing, the people exeptionally friendly and I got to meet many new people and really got to practice my Spanish! :) From the beginning everyone at Mente was super supportive and with any question about anything they were always happy to help. The personal relationship you have with the coordinators right from the beginning and you get to build on really makes this program one of a kind! They placed me in a shared apartment in Palermo and so I got to meet people and find friends right from the beginning. Every week there was an event where I got to meet even more people and make even more friends - from visits to museums to lunches, tango shows and even a day trip to Colonia, they were always really awesome and a lot of fun! :) Mente really made my experience in Buenos Aires amazing and helped me settle in very quickly. Through one of my roommates I even met my girlfriend! :D All in all I am really glad I chose to come to Buenos Aires with Mente :)

I recently had the pleasure of participating in the Mente Argentina program in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone interested in creating their own adventure in this vibrant and dynamic city and country. From the moment I arrived, the Mente team went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was exceptional. The program offers a wide range of accommodations, from homestays to apartments, all conveniently located in some of the most popular neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. The accommodations were comfortable, safe, and provided a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture. One of the highlights of the program was the weekly social outings organized by Mente. These outings allowed me to explore different areas of Buenos Aires, learn about the city's history and culture, and connect with other program participants from across the world. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate. Throughout my time in Buenos Aires, the Mente team was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure that each program participant's needs were met. Whether it was arranging activities, providing information on local events and attractions, or just checking in to see how I was doing, the team was always friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. In summary, if you are interested in creating your own adventure in Buenos Aires, I cannot recommend Mente enough. From the excellent accommodations to the social outings and exceptional support from the program team, it truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Mente Argentina, for an amazing experience! ??

Mente is a truly professional program to work with. They helped me with all of the pre-departure details, even with a nearly two year delay in my program (Covid). More importantly, however, Mente provides a supportive community when in another country. Through weekly cultural activities (music, food, theater, museums) and constant support in internship programs, I was able to maximize the time I had in Argentina through their program. I cannot recommend them enough!

My experience with Mente Argentina could not have been any better. I did the internship program and was able to combine that with some Spanish lessons as well. I had the chance to be flexible and switch between Spanish courses according to what would fit best. Furthermore I was assisted throughout the whole program. I received valuable information regarding public transport and other and was assigned to a lovely shared apartment in a great location. The staff was very supportive and always at your disposal. To top it all off Mente organized lovely trips where I was able to get to know the city better and meet other international people. I recommend the program without reservation!

I travel very often and Mente Argentina has set the bar very high. Mente placed me with the perfect internship for my Master’s Program. Also, the affordability, housing placement, and included excursion/events was an amazing bonus. In my housing placement, I was lucky to have my own room and my housemates have become people I now call friends. The location of my placement was in a prime location in Palermo. I was close to everything! The staff was very friendly and helpful in accommodating all my needs and concerns.

Super recomendable! Me ayudaron a conseguir una pasantía en una agencia espectacular y toda mi estadía en Buenos Aires fue increíble, desde los lugares y las personas que conocí hasta la estadía y los viajes

I’m Tia Burton and I came on the six-week Mente Argentina internship in Buenos Aires program and I really loved it all. I stayed in an apartment in the most beautiful part of the city, to me, the most lively part. I interned in a sort of English-speaking company and there are other interns that work with you so you really get to meet people from around the world who also speak English and Spanish and they can help you whenever you need. I do recommend this program to anyone who wants to come to Buenos Aires.

I just finished up an internship here in Argentina. I was here for the past few months but it really flew by, I felt like I was only here for a few weeks, I really had a great time. I’m glad that I did this program with Mente because they made everything so easy. From picking me up from the airport to giving me my Sube card, answering any questions I had, making sure I knew how to get around, they were always there. The best thing about Mente is that they have weekly events where you get to meet up with other people in Mente programs and I was able to find some really great friends and we hung out for all for my two months. So I had a great time in Buenos Aires, and if you decide to come by, definitely check out Mente Argentina.

My name is Piero, I’m from New Jersey, I was in Buenos Aires for about a month and a half doing an internship and the experience has just been incredible. If you are on the fence about coming, you’ve just gotta come because you get a great experience working-wise, you meet a ton of people, there is so much culture. One of my favorite thing about Buenos Aires is the food, the people that you meet here, and then there is so much art. There is so much to explore, the city is enormous, it’s truly a great experience. So if you’re thinking about coming, but you’re not sure, I would recommend that you come because for me this experience has been incredible. Mente has helped me out a lot with figuring out which barrios to go to, recommending cultural events, and stuff like that.

My name is Maddison, I’m from Utah, and I did an internship with human rights through Mente Argentina and learned a whole bunch. I was forced, or rather encouraged to use my Spanish that I learned in high school. To build off of that, I met many new people, learned many new cultured from all over the world. I learned some street smarts, so that was very helpful. It was an overall a great program. I got to work with kids and elderly people. It was great!

My name is Addy and I’m from Portland, Oregon. I did an internship program and an intensive Spanish course with Mente for two months. I learned a lot in my internship, I learned a lot of Spanish, and I had some awesome roommates. I love Buenos Aires and I will definitely be coming back.

Hi, I’m Julie from Germany. I was here for a month and I did an internship of journalism. It was really fun. I could write about a lot of stuff I’m interested in, a lot of tennis. I also really enjoyed my time here, the warm weather, and Mente did a lot of cool weekend events and weekly events. I really enjoyed the Grafitti Tour. You should come too!

While I’ve been here I’ve been doing the Intensive Spanish Program, so Spanish every morning, as well as an internship, which has been three days a week. It’s been fantastic. I’ve loved my time here.

I really would just recommend it to anyone.

Hello everyone, my name is Jamie Reese and I’m from the United States. I came to Argentina with Mente to do a culinary internship. I had an amazing placement and learned a ton of new skills for my culinary education and had a great apartment right in Plaza Serrano, right in the heart of the party in Buenos Aires, and it was a great time and I highly recommend it.

Hi, I’m Sara Trimble. I came to Argentina to do an internship with Mente Argentina. I absolutely loved it – so much that I extended my stay for another week. I wish I could extend it for a couple months. I absolutely loved it, met people from all around the world, spoke a lot of Spanish, spoke a lot of British English which was different too, and I really recommend it!
