Coletivo the community has become a place to come back to for me. It's a family that supports, helps, shares and listens. The benefits of volunteering here are endless and you can find your way of contribution, be it art, construction, cleaning, reorganizing etc. Each person brings different energy and knowledge, which really makes this house a place of constant change and improvement. I have now returned for the third time and each time it's a little different but in the best way possible, only positive vibes here. I cannot recommend volunteering here enough. You'll love it! :)

The community is a unique space of community living in SP. It's a big house where everyone makes you feel welcome from the moment you step in. A mix of people with unique qualities and skills makes every day special and provides plenty opportunities to learn from one another. In today's individualistic society having an opportunity to be part of a space which strives to collaborate and share plus make an impact in the neighborhood is truly a wholesome experience and I'm really glad I had the chance to be part of it. I gained a lot in a short time and decided to stay longer:)

I've had a wonderful time at the community, it really feels like a home away from home for me. João was very welcoming and attentive to any questions or needs I had. I enjoyed working on the community projects like painting tiles and bringing books to the free bookshelves in public parks. The work itself is flexible where we agree as a group on what activity we're going to do. João and the others at the community have created a vibrant creative community in the house. It's an inspiring example of a more collaborative, creative and sustainable way of living.

My experience with João was excellent! He's a calm, welcoming person and always willing to help. The environment is very family-oriented and warm — I shared the space with men, women, a child, a dog, and a cat, which made everything feel more human and relaxed. The tasks are quite flexible, allowing for a balanced routine. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!
