Can individuals or tour groups arrange to visit the Bahia Street Center?
On the whole, we work hard to keep visitors out of the Center since staff members are completely focused on supporting girls as they work towards university entrance. Visitors are a big distraction to the girls who come from great disadvantage– frankly, visitors are much more interesting than their teachers (to them), and visitors can inadvertently cause distress for the girls when they start to compete for the visitors’ attention. Visitors are allowed to visit the Center under three conditions. (1) As a part of an official Bahia Street study trip, organized for donors and supporters, (2) As a part of a Bahia Street volunteer program, like our January Work Party or English language volunteer program, or (3) As a part of a pre-arranged educational program that pays for the staffing costs associated with arranging such a visit. We do charge for individuals and groups to visit because we are a small non-profit working hard to do great things on a shoestring, and groups take staff away fro
