Volunteer in Brazil
Brazil, fifth largest country in the world, is well known for its love of music, dance and football. Here in Brazil you’ll find the largest tropical rainforest in the world, the unforgettable experience of the Carnival (the biggest party on the planet) and a culture that’s vibrant in colour, passion and energy.
Brazil landscape is packed with diverse ecosystems including river and wetlands, pristine beaches and magnificent mountain scenery. Brazilian volunteer projects are located in the lively and spectacular Rio de Janeiro.
Nicknamed ‘the marvelous city’, Rio is known for the samba, Copacabana beach but also its huge social disparities.
Volunteers are needed to work with young Brazilians to help them overcome the social and educational problems that come with poverty and unemployment. You'll be helping some of the local neighborhoods improve their communities, whilst getting a unique insight into Brazilian life.
