Instituto Passo a Passo
You will be received with love and care by our team, animals and nature. Being a volunteer at the Instituto Passo a Passo is much more than helping a place. It is being in service of something higher. Our main purpose is to contribute to human evolution. You will receive a lot by giving, you will grow and look at the world with diferent eyes. It is an unique experience that will stay within you forever. Transforming life starting by your own.
We are a team of 17 employees and 40 volunteers. Everyone is diferent but everyone has the same purpose: human evolution through the movements of the horse and nature. You will be treated with respect and care. What is important, is that you will need to go along with our rules about drinking and smoking outside of the Institute and outside working hours. We work with vulnerable people and we are here to inspire what we believe in. You will have the opportunity to show your talent and habilities to us, always open to learn and discover. You will learn a lot of stuff about horses, how the centre of Equine Assisted Therapy runs and as foreigner in Brazil, you will learn a lot about yourself, about the brazilian culture, you will learn portuguese :) This is gonna be amazing.

About the experience in: Itatiba, Brazil
Bolivia
Lo recomiendo sin dudar un momento, realmente me sentí bienvenida por toda la familia de passo a passo, es una ONG que tiene muchas personas trabajando y todos son muy abiertos y amigables. Amé trabajar con los caballos e ir aprendiendo de a poco sus personalidades, y las sesiones que hice con los niños es algo demasiado especial.
Lo recomiendo mucho, todo es muy claro desde el inicio, es muy pacífico vivir allá, un momento de desconexión con el mundo

Passo a Passo is another world🌎. I learn a lot in different aspects and my self, I never tought horses could teach me that much. The infrastructure is beautiful and they are growing even more this year. The landscape around is beautiful as well, it has some nice mountains. People from the NGO is always willing to help and teach you. You are definitely going to be on a
multicultural environment where you will hear different languages. The food is really good as well as the bedrooms. Thank you to Stephanie and the other volunteers for this experience. Always in my 💜🐎

Meu primeiro voluntariado não poderia ter sido mais especial, me surpreendi desde o primeiro minuto que entrei no instituto.
A forma como fui recebida e apresentada ao lugar já me mostrou como a gestão era humanizada de fato! Meus dias foram recheados de risadas, amor pelos cavalos e aprendizados sobre manejo, trato e plantio orgânico.
Se você busca paz e tem amor por animais você precisa conhecer o instituto!
Stephane foi uma anfitriã incrível! sentirei muitas saudades e pretendo voltar.

My time in passo a passo was amazing, I got to know many beautiful people that I'll always remember with love.
The tasks are not complicated, you learn so much about taking care of horses.
Stephanie was really flexible and gave me the opportunity to organise my time as I needed, and everyone was a big support when unfortunately I wasn't feeling good. The lunches are awesome, the house was nice, I shared it with people that came for a course they offer. I did some cleaning and many different tasks as this course demanded a lot of energy from everyone, but I felt always part of the team.

My time in Passo a Passo was absolutely amazing. The place is gorgeous, with a lot of nature and animals contact, highly recommended. The food and structures are also great, everything that a volunteer needs. Thank you very much Stephanie, Claudia and all the other people that I met, for your hospitality and open arms. Hope to see you again soon!
