About Program

Kick off your summer as you land in Brazil, known for its natural beauty, diverse cultures, and national soccer team, which has won the FIFA World Cup five times. In São Paulo, you will learn and practice soccer skills through training clinics as you play with local teams comprising high school students. You will also learn about Brazil’s community development efforts by visiting local nonprofit organizations that are utilizing soccer as a tool for change to influence youth and promote education throughout the country. You and your group will complete a community service project that further supports these goals.

Become part of a Brazilian family during your homestay in Monte Alegre do Sul, a town nestled within the Mantiqueira mountain range. You will take basic Portuguese language classes and practice your new skills over homecooked meals or while playing soccer with your host siblings. A Brazilian coach will begin teaching you soccer fundamentals.

My Experience In Brazil

Sep 1, 2018

Overall, I feel like this program was very successful. The experienceI gained through the program helped me grow as a person. I feel like I have grown as a person and this experience has made me the way I am today. I learned about the amazing Brazilian culture and I developed my athletic and language skills which I plan to incorporate into my everyday life. The community service we did in Brazil was a wonderful experience as well. Being able to help others in need was such a rewarding experience in my opinion. Furthermore, I excelled as a leader, became more independent, and formed unforgettable bonds during my Experiment experience in Brazil.
