Become A Proud Volunteer

ASSOCIAÇÃO F/SOS relies on the energy, commitment and care of volunteers who believe in photography as a tool for culture, solidarity and positive change. We welcome people who are curious, engaged and willing to contribute their time and skills to artistic, educational and community-based projects.

From exhibitions and festivals to workshops, social initiatives and environmental actions, our volunteers play an essential role in bringing our work to life. Whether you are a student, a creative, or simply someone who wants to be involved, your participation helps strengthen culture, inclusion and sustainability within the communities we work with.
