Idealist's databases are filled with opportunities, resources and people from all over the planet. Each week, we'll bring you a roundup of what you can find on our site related to a specific country, region, or city. Today we spotlight Brazil—land of sunshine, soccer, and samba!

Currently, there are 196 organizations in Brazil registered on Idealist, many of which focus on children, development, and environmental protection. If you want to volunteer in Brazil, start by looking through the 88 opportunities listed right now. You'll find plenty of opportunities to work with kids, including teaching English, music, and capoeira.

So far, there are 419 Brazilian Idealists signed up with personal profiles, and 915 people list themselves as volunteers. Reading this from Brazil? You can create your own personal or volunteer profile; visit our Portuguese pages to connect with other Idealists from Portuguese-speaking communities; join the Spread Idealist community to get other Brazilians involved; or start a local Idealist Group.
