A Note From the Founder:

“In my first year at McMaster, I was looking for a Brazilian community but could not find one. As the years went by, though, I started meeting Brazilian students all across campus. That is when I realized there was real potential to build something meaningful, not just for myself, but for other students in the same position who were also searching for a sense of belonging and a home away from home. With that in mind, I reached out to goBRASA, the largest non-profit organization in the world connecting Brazilians globally, and launched the McMaster chapter!”
