Resumo: The hosting organization is a prevention service with an open scope of intervention, which means we can be active on the streets or anywhere else.
Our public is made up by children and youngsters (0-22) and our mission is helping them to keep a balanced relation with their social, family and education backgrounds.
We work with and for youngsters to improve their skills in order to foster their autonomy and social emancipation.
Equality of opportunities and equal access to services are values we stand for in our daily activities.

Our action is based on two main working axes:
1)Individual support
A social and educational service based upon a listening, accompanying, orientation, support and mediation work, whose aim is to foster youngsters thriving in their family, scholar and social environment.
We intervene up to a youngster or his/her family’s request, always respecting youth social service moral code. The youngster can decide to stop asking our support at any time.
2)Community action
The objective of the community actions is to improve youngsters’ environment and to bring a global answer to individual problems and to the individual social demand.
