Summer Camp Volunteer

Summer Camp Volunteer

Who we are looking for

As a Summer Camp Volunteer, you will work alongside children as they build the skills to create a brighter future.

The EduMais Summer Camp gives children living in Rio’s favelas, communities that are underprivileged, under-resourced and at risk, a chance to have fun and connect with each other during the summer holidays. We fill their days with learning, creative and physical activities, and healthy meals.

You will spend your time teaching programming and game design through hands-on projects. At the same time, you will support the children as they build the social and life skills they need to thrive as adults.

Volunteering in this challenging environment is as rewarding for you as it is for the children. You will make a real difference, and you will learn as much from our kids as they learn from you!
