United Planet refers to the Canadian and US side of the International Cultural Youth Exchange - ICYE, through which volunteers can choose from a variety of projects in collaborative partnership with local aid organizations across Brazil.

The group offers individuals the chance to participate in short-term (1-12 weeks) or long-term projects that last six months or more - united planet also helps organize group and corporate visits as well as internship opportunities abroad.

Project areas include children and education, environmental sustainability, and global health, as well as more programs tailored to an individual's specific needs - there are programs for families, teen volunteers or those seeking a gap year before college or alternative spring breaks, and medical volunteers.

united planet sets up Brazil volunteers with a series of different projects, each centered around a different theme, such as human rights, for instance, with local non-profits that advocate for marginalized communities in the area - United Planet can be contacted via this form, or via email here.
