Job Description
RockCorps is launching in Brazil in partnership with a major global brand. Each year, the program will engage 40,000 volunteers who will each give 4 hours of their time across 300 community volunteer projects, delivered with up to 200 partner NGOs (160,000 hours of volunteering in total) across 7 cities: São Paulo (the hub city, hosting the vast majority of projects) plus Belém, Salvador, Brasília, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. Volunteer projects will run from November 2026 to April 2027.
These community projects culminate in a celebration concert in São Paulo in April 2027, featuring international and Brazilian artists. The only people attending will be those that did the volunteer work — RockCorps' "Give, Get Given" model.
