Its programs and projects are a reference in offering opportunities to young people from the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, focused on the productive insertion of this population, as well as the enhancement of soft skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, socio-emotional and environmental education, enabling this population to have a sustainable future and more opportunities.
