Volunteer Role
The Brazil volunteer project is located in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro, on Brazil’s Atlantic coast. As a volunteer, you will be working directly with the children, helping with all ages from infants to teenagers. Volunteers will be assisting in the English education programme at the centre, including teaching classes, tutoring students, and helping organize scholastic activities. You may also be given the responsibility of teaching your own individual class if the need arises!
Your volunteering duties will involve working directly with the children, helping with all ages from infants to teenagers. You will provide support to the English education program at the centre; this will range from teaching classes, tutoring students, and helping organize scholastic activities. If you’re feeling confident you may also be given the responsibility of taking lessons for your own individual class if the need arises!
In addition to working with students in the English classroom, volunteers will have the chance to help in specific areas such as sport, art, computers and childcare in the nursery. The bonus of this project is its flexibility; feel free to volunteer for anything that interests you!
There is an opportunity to do additional volunteering in your own time, outside of your scheduled English classes, however, if this is your intention, please make this clear to the coordinator at the start of your programme. You can choose where to provide the extra support. The additional activities might include helping children brush their teeth and combing their hair. The ability to play an instrument always brings delight! So, if music is your thing, feel free to bring your instrument along.
