Participate in this incredible and unique volunteering experience in Brazil with GeoVisions, that also provides you the free time you want to explore and experience the country in depth! Spend 15 hours a week teaching conversational English to your host family in exchange for free room and board, allowing you ample time for adventures in and around your local community. Conversation Corps volunteers are placed in any one of 16 Brazilian cities: Blumenau, Brasília, Caxias do Sul, Curitiba, Duque de Caxias, Florianopolis, Guarapuava, Londrina, Manaus, Maringa, Niteroi, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Vitoria.
The Need:
Imagine living in any one of these amazing Brazilian cities and receiving free room and board from your adopted host family.
Volunteer 15 hours a week helping your host family with conversational English. That's it. Many Brazilian families want to learn English or get better at speaking English through conversation. They are willing to provide a private room and 3 home-cooked, healthy meals each day.
Duties and Responsibilities include:
* Sharing your language with the host family for at least 15 hours a week Monday to Friday.
* Using GeoVisions' Bag of Tricks, provide creative, fun and informative language sessions.
* Keep your room tidy and clean and respect the host family's rules and habits.
* Manage your own personal expenses (telephone bills, clothing, entertainment and spending money).
* Be available to help the children with their English homework.
* Play games in English with the children. Less
