 Teach and mentor underprivileged youth when you volunteer with our Teach English Program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In our Teach English Program, you will be working with
local children in a Community Education Center near the
favelas (shantytowns) of Rio de Janeiro. As a volunteer,
you will be working directly with the children, helping
with all ages from infants to teenagers. Volunteers will
be assisting in the English education program at the center,
including teaching classes, tutoring students, and helping
organize scholastic activities.
Besides working with the students in the English classroom,
volunteers will have the opportunity to help in specialized
areas such as sports, art, computers and childcare in
the nursery. As a volunteer in Rio de Janeiro, you will be helping
promote the health and education of underprivileged young people,
as well as giving them individual attention they crave
and deserve.
As a volunteer you can:
 Organize
and teach English classes
Read
stories to children

kids in English and math
Assist
with meal time
Help
organize the library

"Teaching in a socially
and economically disadvantaged area of Rio de Janeiro
—minutes from the glorious beach, but a million miles
from luxury— is eye-opening and surprising.
I've been impressed with the integrity with which the
community center pursues its mission of holistically educating
children in a difficult environment. I've learned how
flexibility and humor are keys to that success...and I've
savored collaborating with other volunteers."

"My students' appreciation
showed on their faces each time they showed up and in
their endless thank you's at the end of each lesson. What
added to my experience was organizing some extracurricular
activities with the school kids, which included [being
involved in] the basketball program. It was a great experience
to watch their development not only in English but in
sports as well."
