is made up of a dedicated team that is passionate about what we do. We are a group of professionals and volunteers committed to transforming the lives of children and young people by providing education, culture, and emotional support. Our work focuses on promoting social inclusion and helping build a brighter future for those who need it most. For Worldpackers, our priority is to ensure they feel welcome and like part of our team. From the moment they arrive, we aim to provide a warm and enriching experience. We believe in the importance of exchange, so in addition to contributing their skills and time, volunteers also have the opportunity to learn from our team and the community. We offer a collaborative work environment where each volunteer can get involved in various activities, from organizing events to providing direct support in workshops and educational programs. Additionally, we provide moments of connection and interaction with the children and young people at the NGO, which makes the experience even more meaningful. Here, we believe that Worldpackers play an essential role in the success of our projects, and that's why we always strive to create an environment of respect, mutual learning, and positive impact. The exchange of cultures and perspectives is something we enrich every day, both for the volunteers and our team.

I visited the Agape Association with my friends during our vacation in Brazil. We discovered an incredible family, and from the very first moment, we felt at home. Leisa, Maisa, and Maristela are amazing people who truly take care of you. They created this association years ago, founded on love for others, and they dedicate themselves to it every single day, wholeheartedly believing in their mission. They are building something extraordinary, and I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to meet this wonderful project. If you happen to visit, know that you’ll leave with your heart full.Thankyou

My experience at Ágape was beyond what I imagined. From the very first day you feel at home.
Maisa, Maria Estela, Leisa and Fernandho welcome you like family. It’s a deeply immersive way to discover Rio, taking part in community life, joining and even helping plan activities for the kids. You’re surrounded by music, joy, and genuine connection every day. Even without knowing the language, you start to understand and communicate so quickly with them that it feels effortless. I leave with gratitude, unforgettable memories, and the hope to return.

I am eternally grateful for the incredible experience I had with Agape. Volunteering here truly feels like a home away from home; this family-run organization cares deeply about their volunteers. When I was sick, I was taken care of, when I needed something, they would be sure to help out, and they went above and beyond in every aspect. The work expected is very reasonable and very rewarding, and you get to engage with and help the community. I am so happy I volunteered here, but I'm sad my time was so short. I could not recommend this experience more, and I'd love to return to Agape soon :-)
