CORE VALUES
The American Society of Rio de Janeiro is built on a legacy of 108 years of tradition, bringing people together through shared values and meaningful experiences. Our community thrives through three core values: Purpose-Driven Social Projects, Connections, and Celebrations of American Traditions.
-
Purpose-Driven Social Projects reflect our commitment to creating a positive impact—supporting initiatives that benefit the wider community and those in need.
-
Connections are nurtured through a vibrant network of friendships and professional relationships that grow stronger with each interaction.
-
Celebrations of American Traditions include events that mark iconic moments on the U.S. calendar—such as the 4th of July and Thanksgiving—bringing people together to honor heritage and share joyful experiences.
Together, these values form a welcoming and enduring foundation. Through them, we foster a spirited, inclusive, and engaged community that honors tradition while looking to the future.
The American Society of Rio de Janeiro is dedicated to upholding American traditions of education, social responsibility, and volunteerism.
We channel the energy of our volunteers and staff to make a meaningful difference—especially in the lives of those who need it most. Our primary focus is on supporting children and youth through purposeful initiatives and community outreach.
We’d love for you to join us in creating positive change and helping improve the lives of those in need.
