How to do volunteer work in Brazil?

Volunteering doing community work is best for those that want to help out in NGOs, social and local projects and get to know the place in a more local and less touristic way. Some options for social exchange in Brazil are to teach kids or help on ecological projects. In exchange for a few hours of work each day, the project offers accommodation and your trip, in addition to being very positive, will be more economical

Why do voluntary work in Brazil?

Brazil is a great country to be discovered, it’s affordable and full of options. You can have the typical tourist experience in Rio de Janeiro, feel the cultural vibe of São Paulo or relax by the beach in Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, Fernando de Noronha and so many other cities along the country’s 3000 km coast. Exchange a few hours of volunteering for free accommodation and save money to go on a jungle trek around Iguazu Falls or deep into the Amazon rainforest!

Voluntary work in Brazil: how can I help?

Brazil is a land of deep economic contradictions. Social inequality is the country’s biggest issue. Even in the famous capitals like Rio de Janeiro, volunteer programs are a necessity for most of its population and you can help in a variety of ways, for example, by teaching kids in favelas or rural communities, being a photographer or video maker to give a boost to an existing volunteer project, planting trees to restore the Atlantic forests and much more.
