About AFOS

Fundacion AFOS (Assistance for the Fortification of Social Organizations) is a non profit, non political, non religious organization is dedicated to improving the lives of Argentina's underprivileged, disadvantaged and disabled. We do this by enhancing the impact and effectiveness of the nonprofit (NGO) sector. In our region, there are many small non profits but most all struggle to be effective due to a lack of human and financial resources as well as basic organizational and management skills.
Fundacion AFOS provides these organizations with free management and financial consulting, monetary assistance, and important access to a pool of highly skilled and motivated international volunteers prescreened for their specific needs.

Our organization has been operating for less than a year but our management has more than 5 years experience in the nonprofit sector including 2 years receiving foreign volunteers and interns from all over the world. Through this experience we have come to understand the needs and expectations of both local NGOs and foreign volunteers or interns and have learned to match them to achieve meaningful and productive work as well as an enriching experience for both.

Our underlying values are Transparency, Professionalism, Democratic Management, Interdisciplinary Teamwork, and Continuous Improvement.

Our specific objectives are:
* Develop a local and foreign volunteer structure to support the work of local non profits willing to receive human resources to help in their social projects and growth.
* Provide management coaching and mentoring to non profits that demand it and assume the commitment to undertake the changes needed to visualize an impact in their organizational performance.
* Generate intellectual projects to contribute to the growth of the social sector in Cordoba.
