PERAJ Program "Adopt a Friend"
objective
It is a federal program aimed at strengthening and developing the individual and social potential of the child by establishing a significant relationship with the young university student who acts as a tutor throughout the program.
We work with 5th and 6th grade children.
You can be a mentor-tutor!
Peraj - adopt a friend needs trained, responsible people who are willing to share their academic, personal, social and cultural experience.
As a university in the country, you represent a fundamental piece to generate changes and well-being in society.

Five areas of child development are strengthened:
1. Academic: improving and strengthening their learning strategies through a reading, writing and comprehension and English workshop.

2. Affective: strengthening of self-esteem and expression of affection for oneself and for others.

3. Social: develop activities of interaction, collaboration, through assistance activities of the Education Sciences career, such as the celebration of Children's Day and Mother's Day.

4. Motivational: expand their professional aspirations and life project, exemplifying the above through a tour of the university center facilities.

5. Cultural: expand your vision and cultural interest, through visits to museums, zoos and cinemas.
In Peraj - adopt a friend, we seek to make tutoring really easy and fun, where you acquire a great value of responsibility, but above all, that it represents an unforgettable life experience for mentors/tutors and friends.
