Here at Cidadão Pró-Mundo, we see this happen every day. Our team helps us bring quality English education to young Brazilians, and the impact of this contribution goes far beyond the classroom.

More than just helping: it's also about learning

A volunteer sees the world differently. It is a constant exchange: you teach, but you also learn. You learn to listen, to respect different paths, to develop empathy and, of course, to work in a team. It is a deep dive into what really matters: people.

And don't worry if you've never done volunteer work before. Nobody starts out knowing everything. At Cidadão Pró-Mundo, we offer support and training so that everyone can contribute in the best possible way — whether by teaching classes or assisting in administrative tasks at our Units.

And the benefits? You can bet there are many!

When we talk about volunteering, it's normal to first think about the social impact. But what if we told you that being a volunteer can also boost your personal and professional life?

Check out some of the benefits you can experience here at CPM:

• Development of skills such as leadership, communication, and time management;

• Increased self-esteem from knowing you are making a difference;

• New connections with incredible people who also want to change the world;

• Real experiences to add to your resume and stand out in the market.

Oh, and of course: feeling warm at heart when you see the results of your work, something no technical benefit can measure!

Challenges exist – and they are welcome!

Like any meaningful journey, volunteering also has its challenges. Sometimes you'll leave a class with a thousand ideas, sometimes a bit frustrated. It's part of it. But each obstacle brings learning, and each small triumph has a special taste.

It is there, in day-to-day life, that the magic happens. When you see the sparkle in the eyes of a student who learned to introduce themselves in English for the first time, for example, everything makes sense.

So, ready to live this experience?
