Youth and Opportunity
Caju, Rio de Janeiro
The Youth and Opportunity Program is a socio-educational action focused on the care of vulnerable youth and adults that require social assistance and work training, it offers professional qualification and increased schooling through the offer of youth and adult education strategies. The program offers vocational training courses for young people and adults from 16 to 59 years, in addition to basic education (Primary School, High School and preparatory to Enem) for those who could not complete their studies.
In 2018 the Program organized an important co-workspace with the Family and Community site of Gol de Letra, that increased the availability of spaces for research, exchange of books and academic work production.
Another innovation was the Women’s Meetings, that took place throughout the year with the participation of many women of the region, contributing to the mobilization of young and adult women, to the exchange of knowledge among peers, and to a larger number of women attending the courses during the whole year.

My course in 2018 was a new starting point for me, showing me new horizons regarding carrying on studying, as, until then, I did not know my own potential. The social support I received helped me overcoming the difficulties and hoping for a better future. Moreover, I realized that we can improve the world and occupy the spaces that are naturally ours. I have the possibility of either studying in a Public University (URFRJ and UERJ) or getting a full scholarship at PUC . I started my career Project (Social Scientist) in 2018 at Fundação Gol de Letra, wanting a better and fair world. Thank you for planting the seed of dreams in us
I am happy for the opportunity of doing this testimonial, as I am very proud of taking part in Fundação Gol de Letra. I have been teaching this Program for two years and there are many good things about it. The students are fond of FGL and they care for this caring institution. The team here is very helpful. It generates a positive impact on the students lives. The work done by FGL is very important!
Studing in Fundação Gol de Letra was very pleasant. I made new friends and got a top-notch education, with real life experiences that prepared me for the present work market. Practical classes, a good support and excelent instructors. I am very thankful to FGL and SENAI for the educational opportunity. The preparation for job interviews was also very good. Congrats, FGL team, for the excellent work!
