Our Operating Model

Mission

Community in Action empowers the impoverished of Rio de Janeiro through job training and education. Our technical and cultural coursework, personal development activities, primary and secondary school tutoring, educational seminars and partnerships with private and public entities seek to connect residents with academic and employment growth opportunities. We deliver the necessary skills and knowledge to our students and community partners that allow them to compete in the job market, expand their economic horizons, and make wiser and healthier decisions for themselves and their families.

Operating Model

The Community in Action (Comunidade em Ação) Operating model allows individuals interested in social entrepreneurship to select projects via this website, travel to Rio, and implement diverse community outreach programs. The CiA team will provide logistics support before you travel and upon your arrival, working directly with local residents in the favela. Although diverse projects are shown on this site, we are always open to new suggestions. All projects are flexible and we encourage proactive input to continuously enhance our services. Becoming involved with Community in Action is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in International Development, Non-Profit Management, or Sustainable Enterprise.
