The social project of Voluntario Global and local youth
We promote a “cooperative work culture” and enable to offer disadvantages youth to have a first job and go on studying.
3 years ago, we opened a laundry cooperative to make possible youth has a first job and choose their work timetable according their university schedule.
The economic gain allows a much greater gain, a social one.
Young people decide roles and responsibilities in weekly meetings. They evaluate their work, discuss problems, improvements and ways to grow profitability.
They learn to work with dignity and respect each others. They spread their experience in young people meeting in social organizations.
Next Project steps: create new jobs
The cooperative laundry want to create new jobs. For that, they need to improve facilities and buy 2 new washers and 1 dryer as a second step.
A "adventure philanthropy" from United States organization has decided to raise the money to fix the walls, bathroom and kitchen from the laundry place. They not only collected the money but also came to Buenos Aires to help to make the work.
Know the project: “ROADMONKEY”
A young worker in the laundromat cooperative explain his work and saying thanks to volunteers!
