Effective outcomes can be produced and transformation can take place when community activists, resources and funding join together with a single vision. All donations are directed to programs that are best managed, most efficient, and most effective at helping people become and remain self-sufficient.

Programs

The ultimate objective of COMMUNITY IN ACTION is to help residents work toward personal growth and transition from abject poverty to employment. We focus on cultural and vocational classes to facilitate this transition. Community outreach programs are continuously developed to matriculate students, recruit volunteers and add new classes. As more people become involved, our projects and services continue to expand and increase in scope.

Community in Action strives to keep our donors, friends and interested parties up-to-date with the news that we create. Our main priority is to keep you informed as innovative programs are developed and new people join our organization. If you would like to be added to our mailing list please let us know.

Get Involved

Community in Action is continuously searching for new volunteers (from outside Brazil) who have the desire to live and work in Rio de Janeiro. New outreach programs are always developed and additional support is needed. If you are interested in joining our team, contact us directly via email. We look forward to hearing from you.
