New Acropolis receives National Award (Brazil)
The Headquarters of the International Organization Nova Acrópole – Brasil Norte (OINABN) received the 2022 National Volunteer Incentive Award from the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic. The organization was selected among the highest scores in the country and ranked first in the Midwest region as an institution of organized society that encourages volunteering.
One of the projects that stood out for this award was the Programa Criança para o Bem (Child for good) an initiative that for 15 years has provided socio-educational services after school hours, in a planned, systematic and free way, to children and young people aged 6 to 16 in situations of social vulnerability, residing in several administrative regions of the Federal District. Dozens of volunteers dedicate themselves to the program.
Volunteering is one of the pillars of New Acropolis. In the proposal to share what is learned and to practice philosophy with coexistence, volunteer work drives the activities of the institution’s headquarters and in solidarity and ecological actions with the communities in which it operates on all continents.
There are more than 40 volunteers around the world in 60 countries.
