Volunteer in Brazil

Brazil is a diverse country that is expressive, large, and has a wide range of people and landscapes. Take this opportunity to become a volunteer in Brazil as you work on programs that impact the local community in a positive manner. We want to promote intercultural exchange and to really make sure that everyone involved benefits greatly. The following programs are open to volunteers:

Sports, Design, and the Arts
Teaching English and Child Development
Ecological and Environmental Programs – work in community gardens
Help with NGOs and Development
Carnival Preparation in the Samba Schools as a season offering from November to January

Placements are open in 2014 and 2015 and you can participate from 3 weeks to 24 weeks throughout the year.

Students, groups, and individuals are welcome.

Portuguese is the official language of Brazil and knowing even a few phrases will help you get far. Not only can you converse more on a daily basis but you can offer a lot to your project. We offer a 20 hour intensive course for Portuguese that will run alongside your first two weeks of volunteers for 2 hours each day, Monday to Friday.

There are many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that we are affiliated with who benefit the individual communities that they serve. You will be able to have a cultural exchange as you give back to the local community.

Projects are situated in Rio de Janeiro and we are happy to create projects that suit your interests and abilities.
