In order to grow, a
talented young person
only needs opportunities.
That's what we believe,
that's why we exist.

Our dream is to
make other dreams
come true through
access to education.

The values that guide us:

Quality and high impact:

We prioritize initiatives that greatly impact the lives of the people they benefit. We hope that these young people become agents of transformation in their communities.

Pragmatism and focus:

We promote and seek to bring the best practices for analysing project results, allowing for a more objective, consistent and sustainable assessment.

Bringing new ideas to life:

We are always looking for brilliant ideas both within and outside Brazil. We seek ideas that can scale and set out to solve the country’s educational challenges.

Alliances and partnerships for exponential impact:

We team up with partners who are leaders in their areas of expertise and are willing to join forces to achieve more significant impacts.

In practice, how do we assess projects to support?

When analysing a new project 3 main
items are considered in accordance
with our pillars and values:

1
1 Talent selection

Each project we support focuses on a profile of young people, which is selected through innovative tools and according to a specific market.

2
2 Future skills
education

We look for up-to-date content and methodologies as well as measurable impact. These are some of the important attributes of the projects we consider in order to ensure that participants are actually learning skills critical to their future careers.

3
3 Access to work
in the digital economy

What is important to us is the ability to connect young people with employment opportunities, mindful of already established partnerships with qualified potential employers. We also consider the training given to young people to find the right opportunities.

What management rituals
do we adopt for our actions
to have maximum impact,
today and tomorrow?

We hold regular meetings to monitor the performance of supported projects and also to evaluate new partnership opportunities.

In addition, we have the support of a technical committee made up of external professionals, who complement our know-how with information about the needs of the technology market. So, as well as better guiding our investments, we can help create partnerships that lead to innovative solutions.
