Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Dates: Throughout the year (minimum of 8 weeks)

Description: The volunteer projects we offer in Brazil are based on social commitment and dedication at different kinds of institutions. You will have the excellent opportunity to get to know the country and its culture and can meanwhile apply and improve your Portuguese language skills. You will also show solidarity with people who completely rely on the help of others and your support will be highly appreciated. You will make a small but very important contribution to the international understanding. We cooperate with social organizations, institutions and foundations in Salvador da Bahia. The following working areas can be offered: work with children brought up in institutions, work with street children, human rights, women's rights, ecological and environmental projects, projects with native animals, development assistance, work with elderly people in need, etc.
The working hours during your volunteer program depend on the institution. All volunteer work projects are full-time positions. The decision, whether to pay a remuneration or not, is completely up to the institution. However, and due to economic and social reasons in Brazil, it is normally not possible to remunerate your work. The institutions mainly depend on donations themselves to be able to exist and to operate. In combination with the volunteer work project in Brazil we offer preparing language courses. At least a two-week Portuguese course in Salvador da Bahia is required to participate in our volunteer program. The course will help you to become familiar with the language and to fulfill the linguistic expectations during your volunteer work project.
