Change the lives of underprivileged children when you volunteer with our Teach English Program in Rio de Janeiro. In our Teach English Program, you will be working with local children in a Community Education Center near the favelas (shantytowns) in Rio de Janeiro. 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 program at the center, including teaching classes, tutoring students, and helping organize scholastic activities.

Besides working with the students in the English classroom, volunteers will have the opportunity to help in specialized areas such as sports, art, computers and childcare in the nursery.

BridgeVolunteers's Mission Statement

The mission of BridgeVolunteers is to create and promote volunteer opportunities that improve the lives of others and the environment in which we live. We seek to achieve this goal by connecting worthy local projects with volunteers around the world. Many local organizations are doing great work in their communities, but don't have the resources required to recruit international volunteers. BridgeVolunteers serves as the link between these organizations and the volunteers needed to make these projects a success. All volunteer programs depend on the skilled coordination of a variety of elements: enthusiastic volunteers, meaningful work, organized projects, and supportive staff. It is our goal at BridgeVolunteers to orchestrate this process for you. We use our global experience and resources to provide volunteer experiences that bring pride and satisfaction to everyone involved.
