Working for an NGO or a not for profit organization can be really rewarding, since a lot of social issues that the government is not capable of handling by itself are solved by those types of organizations.
Intern Brazil not only holds close contact with innovating and diverse kinds of NGOs and Non Profits, but we have also partnered with Volunteering Brazil a 100% Brazilian organization focused on (non academic) volunteer opportunities.
