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.

Participating in this social volunteer project was a deeply meaningful experience. Teaching English to the children allowed me to bond with them, and living and working with other members helped me understand the impact of the association’s activities. From the very beginning I was treated like a member of the family and we shared many fun moments. They were always willing to help me, creating a warm and supportive environment. Seeing the positive impact of our actions made this experience even more valuable and I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project! :)

I absolutely loved staying at Associação Ágape during my time in Brazil! From the very beginning Leisa, Maristela and Maisa make you feel part of their family. While you’re there, you will have the chance to learn (or practice) your Portuguese while making an impact in the community. Plus, you will have plenty of free which it’s perfect if you want to explore Rio and enjoy the city. Forever grateful to Associação Ágape for my first volunteer experience! :)

I really loved to stay at Associação Ágape, It was a beautiful expierience that helped me a lot to get in touch with the brazilian culture, practice my portuguese and to help the community as i could. The hosts were amazing from the very begging, they made me feel at home. I also had the chance to see how much effort and love they put in the project and I loved to be part of that. Also the food was great and the work schedule was very flexible letting me a lot of free time to actually enjoy Río.
I would love to go back one day, Associação Ágape will always stay in my heart.

I really enjoyed my stay at Associação Ágape. The family is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel at home from the very beginning. The food was delicious, and they were always available for anything we needed during the two weeks of volunteering. During this time, we supported the school with various projects, but we still had plenty of time to explore the city.
Thank you for this experience!
