Icasu

Preparing young people for tomorrow! This is the mission of the Icasu Foundation, which began operating in Uberlândia in 1967. The establishment of ICASU received public attention because of the importance of its work for the Triângulo Mineiro region. At the start of its activities, ICASU began by donating food baskets to needy families. In 1974, the institution's vision was broadened with a concern for social promotion. Since then, young people have been the focus of the organization, which offers “Training for Work” and “Young Apprentice” courses, guiding them to their first job. In these 50 years, more than 40,000 young people aged between 14 and 24 have passed through ICASU. The work is financed by the employer's fee that comes from the market hiring the young people qualified by the institution. In 2021, 455 young people participated in ICASU's qualification program in an environment that impacts 980 families, including students, those assisted by the institution's social actions and employees. In addition to its focus on education, Icasu also works with shelters and recovery homes. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
