Providing life-changing educational and leadership opportunities to young people from favelas in Brazil

Meet Pauline

I met Richard and Margot in 2008, when I was just a girl trying to support my family in escaping poverty like millions of others. BRAYCE entered my life, and the rest was history. In my town, my biggest dreams and ambitions before that were to attend a university in Brazil and become an English teacher, which is an honorable mission, only God had other plans.

Meet Rafael

I’ve been part of the BRAYCE family ever since 2007, when I participated in the leadership program. Both my personal and professional life were being molded with that experience. Self-confidence, public speaking, and obviously my English improved so much.

Meet Henrique

I have always dreamt about visiting America thanks to the difference of cultures when compared to Brazil.
Also, having a chance to be totally involved with American culture in a leadership summer camp is a unique experience to enhance my vision of the world and personal skills.

Meet Rafaela

A couple of weeks ago, I caught myself reading again some small notes my friends from Camp Hazen wrote for me. It was 2015 when they were written, and we were all part of the Leadership Program (LEA) at Camp. Years went by since that time, but the warm feelings the notes shared back then are still here.

Meet Marcos

At the age of 10, living in a community without many opportunities in Brazil, I discovered that learning English was a dream of mine. Behind this dream was the desire to connect with the world and different cultures, and also the desire to take a little of my country to the world.
