Description

RENAPSI is a Brazilian non-profit organization that runs a program to facilitate the social and labor integration of the 1.7 million young people between the ages of 14 and 17 that are out of school. Working with Renapsi met the goals of our Socio-Educational Programs: to reinsert the youth into society through psychosocial, school, citizen, human, professional and financial support. This in turn contributes to the reduction of crime and violence as our program helps the youths overcome their situation of exclusion and acquire the values necessary for an active participation in the social life of their community.

The solution

Education

School reintegration programs for out-of-school youth provide psychosocial and academic support, develop school and learning pathways, ensure educational follow-up to prevent dropout, and promote lifelong learning and civic education.

Youth empowerment

Youth empowerment initiatives provide social and labor integration support, develop professional and financial skills, deliver citizenship and human development programs, reduce exclusion and violence, and strengthen youth agency for active participation in community and economic life.
