Volunteer Abroad in Brazil
Are you ready for the life-changing experience of volunteering abroad? Join us for immersive volunteer projects in Brazil that range from 1-26 weeks. See the world and yourself from a new perspective.
ProWorld works with you to match your skills, interests, and timeline with a meaningful volunteer project to aid the local community in Brazil. Our Program Advisors work to find you the perfect project for you, and the on-site ProWorld team guides you through project planning, execution and conclusion.
The following are examples of volunteer projects. Projects are dynamic and change throughout the course of the year, as well as the volunteer needs at each project. Final project placement for volunteers (especially during the peak season months of May-August) will be determined by site teams based on community need, while also taking into account your skills and interests.
