Accommodation/Meal/Supervision:

There are various options for volunteer accommodation and it depends on the time of year in regards to availability. (December through February is Rio's busiest months, and volunteers need to plan far in advance in order to receive adequate accommodation.)

The Volunteer Coordinator will find a place for volunteers to stay in Rio. Most of the time, that's going to be in hostel. Volunteers will share a room with other volunteers and travelers. Breakfast will be provided (usually fruit, coffee, sandwiches). There are several hostel locations throughout Rio that will be safe and secure for the volunteer, as well as a good opportunity to meet other travelers.

Sometimes the Coordinator can find a home stay situation for a volunteer. They would be given a room in an apartment. This is a good opportunity to experience how a person lives in Rio (This is not with a family though). With this accommodation, there are also various locations throughout the city (even in the favelas). Locations will be secure. However, volunteers must prepare their own meals and availability can be highly limited.

Throughout the volunteer project, our local staff stays in contact with volunteers either with face-to-face visits or via email/telephone. With longer placements, we visit our volunteers every two weeks (when possible) and volunteers are always welcome to contact the local country coordinator at any time.
