About Us

What is Viva Brasil?

Founded in 2012, Viva Brasil STL is a vibrant non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting Brazilian culture within the St. Louis community. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Brazilian and American cultures by sponsoring a variety of cultural events and providing Portuguese language education.

At Viva Brasil STL, we believe in the power of cultural exchange to foster understanding and unity. Our annual events, such as the lively Festa Junina and engaging community training sessions, offer a taste of Brazil’s rich traditions and festive spirit. These events are designed to bring people together, offering authentic Brazilian cuisine, music, dance, and family-friendly activities.

In addition to our cultural events, we are committed to education and community engagement. We offer Portuguese language classes to help individuals connect more deeply with Brazilian culture and enhance their language skills. Our organization also provides opportunities for community members to volunteer and participate in our various initiatives, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. We facilitate networking opportunities to help build strong connections within the community.

Viva Brasil STL also supports education by volunteering at public schools and by offering scholarships.
