Program Description

Teach Underprivilieged Children in Rio de Janeiro!

Description

This is a stimulating yet laid-back experience in one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world.

We work with a number of different schools, each one individual with its own atmosphere and attraction. You may want to work constantly at just one school or you may be keen to spread your help among a selection of schools. Our projects are very well structured but, as with all things Brazilian, also pretty laid back! You don't need any qualifications to participate in a teaching placement in Brazil.
