The Municipal Youth Secretariat (SEJUV) is a public administration body of Campo Grande, with its main objective to develop public policies aimed at the city's youth. Currently, the youth secretary is Michele Ferreira, who took over the position after Maicon Nogueira left to run in the Campo Grande municipal elections in 2024.
SEJUV seeks to promote social inclusion, personal and professional development, civic participation and awareness among young people from Campo Grande.
Services and programs.
SEJUV offers several services and programs for young people, including:
Gerando Líderes Institute.
The institute was founded in late 2023 by businessman and customer service specialist Sanger Santos, to train young people for the job market and develop leadership skills. The organization stands out because it is being run by young people themselves, promoting participatory and innovative management.
Since its creation, the institute has been dedicated to offering mentoring and training programs. In April 2024, the founding board was sworn in, and since then, the institute has carried out several initiatives catered for youth development. One of the important milestones was the partnership with the company HIPED, where classes I and II received specialized mentoring. Their motto "Eagle flies with eagle" reflects the philosophy that strong leaders come together to achieve great goals.
Levanta Juventude Program.
Between July 1 and 5, the Gerando Líderes Institute, with the support of the Youth Secretariat (Sejuv), will hold the 'Levanta Juventude' program in Campo Grande. This program is aimed at training young people for the job market and expects to bring together 300 participants, who will receive a 20-hour certificate at the end of the event.
Location.
SEJUV's headquarters are located in Campo Grande, and courses are offered both at the headquarters and in other locations in the city, such as technology parks (ParkTec) and partner educational institutions (Estácio de Sá, Instead and Uniderp).
Impact.
The work of SEJUV is of great importance to the local community, as it provides young people with opportunities for training and development, preparing them for the job market and encouraging entrepreneurship. In addition, the department plays a vital role in the formation of conscious and active citizens in society.
