Together, we are agents of
transformation
Growing Up Right Institute was founded on April 23, 2015 with the goal of offering opportunities to rural teenagers, avoiding child labor and promoting the development of their skills and potential. Valuable partnerships, pioneering projects and innovative methodology are the hallmarks of the programs developed, focusing on the protagonism of young people and expanding the horizon for their future from rural areas.
Learning Program
Rural Professional
The Rural Professional Learning Program is a pioneer in offering professional learning without leaving the field or school, training teenagers in the rural management and entrepreneurship course. During the course’s average period of one year (800 hours), young people are hired as apprentices by companies in the tobacco sector associated with and supporting the Growing Up Right Institute.
Us for Them Program – The female voice from the countryside
Addressing gender issues in rural areas and promoting greater awareness of the role of women are central objectives of the Us for Them Program – The feminine voice of the countryside, a partnership between the Growing Up Right Institute and the University of Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC). The program trains graduates of the Learning Program, with a special focus on the area of communication, preparing them to become knowledge multipliers for rural young people and the community in general, through radio programs.
Good Practices Program
Entrepreneurship for Education
To share with education professionals ways to develop activities that spark entrepreneurship, the Growing Up Right Institute has been carrying out, since 2020, the Good Entrepreneurship Practices for Education Program. The initiative consists of sharing methodological tools tested and approved by the pedagogical team of the Rural Professional Learning Program with teachers from rural schools in partner municipalities.
