It offers 15 sports and leisure modalities for people from the community of Vila Albertina, at the Center for Sport and Development (NED) and in partnership with 7 public schools in the region - providing activities for students after school hours - and occupying public spaces with street events. The program also includes the Goal for Equality, which talks about gender equity and sexuality with children, adolescents and young people, as well as increasing the participation of girls in sports activities and training social agents, monitors, educators and teachers.

Testimonials
I learned new games at Gol de Letra, such as Base 4 and dodge ball. I will learn skating, football and volleyball by the end of the year. There is a lot to do in a Sports School!
Monitoring is an amazing experience. I used to be quiet and shy. After six months, I started feeling more at ease to express myself. I am a monitor now, and I want to carry on in the sports sector, go to college and in the future start a football project for girls and boys. As I was helped by Fundação, I intend to help other people too, giving incentive to others in the same way. Don’t ever think that you are alone. You are not. There is always someone that cares for you”.
When you teach one child something and then see him teach another child, it's amazing. Very rewarding! Multiplication actually happens. Participating in the Foundation has changed my life a lot. Today I have another view, another attitude of empowerment, I didn't even know what that was! I didn't see myself in sports, I didn't think it was something for me. I want to work on a community social project in the future
When I went to the Manchester exchange program, I thought the biggest difficulty would be communicating because of the language, but with the sport I saw that I could communicate even with a person from India, for example. Getting there and knowing other cultures, I saw that we need to value our culture, our roots.
