Program Details

Volunteers will teach on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with time for lesson preparation ✏️. A teaching guide is available, but we encourage you to bring your own creative ideas to make the classes engaging and fun! The main objective is for students to be immersed in the target language 🗣️🎨

Since there are very few lessons during the week, in addition, the volunteer may be asked to do some simple tasks or chores, such as light gardening tasks, making the common spaces more beautiful. Of course, all within the agreed timeframe for volunteering.

We value community spirit 🤝—so we ask for respect, punctuality, and a clean, positive attitude in our shared space.

🌅 About the Location
The school is just a few steps from the ocean 🌊 and a quiet beach—perfect for sunsets, swimming, or simply relaxing. Right next door, locals gather in the afternoons to play volleyball 🏐, and a gorgeous waterfall is just a 7-minute walk away.

If you like dancing, sports and other movement activities, you will have access to a dance studio with mirrors where you can practice, train, and even offer workshops on your time.

You'll be close to Florianópolis and the famous Guarda do Embaú Beach, with buses and trails connecting you to endless natural wonders 🌴.
