We are always looking for volunteers who can support us in Rio, giving sports and/or Portuguese and math classes. If you are interested, please take notice that you have to speak basic Portuguese, since no one speaks English or Spanish in the favela. 

A second requirement is a Declaration on Good Behavior.
We are particularly keen on (sexual) undesirable behavior and will not hesitate to call in the authorities if necessary.

Drug purchases and/or use in Mangueira will not be tolerated, nor intimate relationships with residents of Mangueira.

Ensure that a travel and liability insurance is taken in order.
