Brazil Youth Outreach

You will be volunteering in a day centre located in the Pavão-Pavãozinho favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The centre is dedicated to providing health care and education to local impoverished families, who are trapped in a depressing cycle of poverty, deprived of education, and unemployment.

The aim is to break the cycle by teaching English classes, tutoring students, and helping to arrange and engage in leisure activities with the children. The outreach project currently provides help for over 400 children, and medical support for over 1500 families. This is an amazing opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of some of Brazil’s most underprivileged children.

Volunteer Role

You will work with the children from the fovea, providing them with attention, support and guidance. As part of the programme you will be given the special opportunity to be a role model to the children; encouraging them to develop an enthusiasm for higher education, and helping them develop the vital skills that employers look for. As a volunteer your activities may include:

  • Organizing and teaching English classes
  • Tutoring kids in English and maths
  • Taking care of children in the nursery
  • Helping out at meal times
  • Assisting with a variety of administrative tasks at the centre
  • Helping coach sports and other recreational activities
