Brazil Highlight

"There are stretches of unexplored rainforest, islands with pristine tropical beaches, and endless rivers. And there are the people themselves, who delight the visitor with their energy and joy."

Join Global Leadership Adventures on the northeastern coast of Brazil this summer!

Students live on the GLA campus in Fortaleza, Brazil, a region known for its unique Nordestino culture. Immerse yourself in .the culture of one of the most diverse nations in the world. Percussion, capoiera, handicrafts, dance and traditional African religion all co-exist alongside a growing economy with modern buildings and bustling streets.

Experience the lively culture of this country and volunteer doing educational activities with children. Although Brazil is best known for its stunning beaches, it also suffers from one of the widest economic divides in the world. During your community service projects you will see this dichotomy for yourself as you volunteer in favelas, or shantytowns, located next to beautiful estates. On the weekends, enjoy the beaches and go sandboarding down massive sand dunes!

Due to Fortaleza's rich culture and reputation for being one of the safest cities in Brazil, this is an ideal location from which to explore the region and to help some of the most underprivileged people in the country through service projects.
