Overview
There is a palpable obsession with the arts in Rio de Janeiro - as music, dance, and theatre are central to what it means to be Brazilian. However, the arts are far more than just entertainment; it can be a powerful force for community building, nurturing human creativity, and social empowerment.
With this in mind, Iko Poran has partnered with a number of arts programs around Rio de Janeiro dedicated to providing access to the arts for diverse populations - so that all Cariocas (locals from Rio) - may be empowered by the positive impact of the arts.

Why Volunteer for an Arts Program?
There’s certainly plenty to offer on an arts project which uses an invigorating mix of music, dance, and theatre to support the city’s most at-risk youth. Working with children from a number of favelas (urban slums) your efforts will play a valuable part in helping a project desperately short of resources, while allowing you to absorb the artistic vibes of Rio.
As a volunteer for an arts program, one of your main roles will be to help educate and support the children of Rio by offering a cultural and artistic education that reinforces positive interests, in an effort to provide an escape from the omnipresent drug trade and under-employment.
