The organization\u2019s service delivery is fundamentally human-led rather than technology-led: it relies on a multi-disciplinary team of approximately 101 professionals\u2014socio-educadores, advogados, psic\u00f3logos, pedagogos, terapeutas ocupacionais, and assistentes sociais\u2014delivering education, professional training, environmental education projects, therapeutic intervention, and gradual social reintegration programming.

The business model is that of a managed-services non-profit: 100% of revenue is funded by public management contracts with the State of Minas Gerais via SEJUSP/SUASE, with services billed under the Contratos de Gest\u00e3o framework rather than any commercial pricing model. The organization supplements state funding with programmatic municipal partnerships (e.g., Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente de Te\u00f3filo Otoni for environmental education; Prefeitura de Uberaba for facility engagement). Hiring is conducted through formal public processos seletivos (e.g., Selection Processes 83/2026, 84/2026, 86/2026, 87/2026), and institutional communications are limited to the corporate website, Facebook, and WhatsApp. There are no investors, external owners, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or funding rounds, consistent with its non-profit legal status.
