Adolescence is a phase of identity formation, decision-making, and the discovery of new paths. But when this stage is experienced amidst poverty, domestic violence, lack of family support, or lack of opportunities, the risks multiply: school dropout, involvement with drugs, crime, depression, and social marginalization.

With that in mind, the Social Alliance develops projects for teenagers in São Paulo, focusing on social inclusion, strengthening of bonds and holistic development. These are actions aimed at young people from vulnerable communities, with the goal of opening up new possibilities and building paths of hope.

Concrete actions for transformation

The projects offered go far beyond mere assistance. They are spaces for interaction, learning, and empowerment, in which adolescents are valued as subjects of rights and a future. Among the activities developed are:

• Workshops on human development and values, with themes such as respect, self-esteem, empathy, responsibility and conscious choices;
• Cultural and artistic activities, such as music, dance, theater, graffiti and audiovisual media, which stimulate expression, creativity and a sense of belonging;
• Social groups, which promote dialogue, listening and mutual support among participants;
• Psychosocial care, with individual and family support, aimed at overcoming traumas, conflicts and at-risk situations;
• Actions to prevent drug use, violence, and school dropout., with academic support, career guidance, and strengthening of family ties.

Social inclusion for young people: an investment that pays off.

Each teenager served represents a life that moves away from marginalization and closer to a dignified future. By offering opportunities, listening, and support, social projects for young people contribute directly to their well-being. Reducing inequality, decreasing violence, and building a more just society..

Many of the teenagers who participated in these projects are now employed, pursuing higher education, or acting as multipliers in their own communities.
