Frequently Asked Questions to Start with Mondify

We are involved in very varied projects, both in community and environmental fields. There are volunteer projects in schools, teaching Italian, sports, but also internships in human rights, journalism, or medicine. Or, you can choose an environmental volunteer project or volunteer with animals and find yourself living in dream locations while helping to protect the environment.
You can take a look at the pages dedicated to community development projects and environmental volunteer projects.

We work in Argentina and Ecuador.

• In Argentina, the projects take place in Cordoba, Buenos Aires, and Patagonia.
• In Ecuador, we are in the Galapagos.

There are no special requirements. In fact, we want this to be an opportunity to learn, as well as to help.
Depending on the project you choose, you will receive initial training, and we will follow you throughout the activities.
Additionally, we try to define your role based on your preferences and expectations, the knowledge you have, and what you want to gain. Of course, there are exceptions based on the project.

Undoubtedly, knowing Spanish is an advantage. However, for most projects, it is not a necessary requirement. The important thing is that you feel comfortable communicating with people, and it is usually easy to communicate between Italian and Spanish speakers. In some cases, we can provide translation support.
Moreover, we also organize Spanish courses. What better opportunity to improve your language skills?

Our projects are open to all people from 16 years old and up.
People aged 10, 30, 40, but also 50 or 60 years old join us. Everyone experiences the adventure based on their own background, but the beautiful aspect is that relationships are created regardless of any age difference.
For minors, parental authorization is required.

You can leave whenever you want. You can choose the departure and return dates. It can be any day of the month or week.
Our projects take place all year round, and we accommodate you based on your preferences.
Just consider that if you arrive on a Friday, you will most likely start activities the following Monday.

In general, you can participate for as little as one week, but each project has a different minimum duration. You can find this on the pages dedicated to specific projects.
We always recommend as long a stay as possible so you have time to settle in and fully enjoy the experience, both personally and professionally.
However, we understand it’s not easy to detach from commitments at home, so we arrange things to facilitate anyone’s involvement, regardless of the project’s duration.

Some people register a year in advance, allowing time to pay in installments and prepare for the project; for us, it is easier to meet any specific requests in these cases.
Others decide at the last minute. If you are one of them, contact us immediately, and we will start organizing your trip!

The type of vaccinations depends on the project you choose. Generally, there are no major requirements, but we can only give informal advice. We suggest consulting a doctor or specialized center.
