Football (soccer) is Brazil's passion! Almost everyday there is a football match somewhere, professional or amateur. In Rio there are four important teams: Botafogo, Fluminense, Vasco and Flamengo. The carioca (local person) is raised to be a fan of one of these teams since birth. In the favelas, it is every boy's dream to become a pro-player and leave behind their current poverty stricken life.
Sports play a great deal of importance because they help children think constructively and learn to collaborate with others in a team environment and not solely as an individual.
If you are into enjoying the Brazilian soul while experiencing diverse activities like stretching, functional training, yoga, pilates, swimming, aqua aerobics, ballroom dance, zumba dance, aqua zumba, skateboarding, basketball, judo, football and futsal, this is your program! Bring your swim cap and one-piece garment (bathing suit / speedo) if you want to join the swimming activities!
We work in a central area.
Please be aware that this program goes on a festive break between the second half of December to the end of January.

Please get in touch if you are unsure about the dates for Carnival. It is also important to remember that during Carnival, all placements will close and no volunteer will be working during this week.
Please, let us know your flight information (arrival date, time, flight number and airport). All volunteers may arrive at Galeão International Airport (GIG) or Santos Dumont (SDU).
