Araucária City Hall maintains a Sponsorship Program that allows the community to participate in supporting children and adolescents institutionally hosted in the municipality. The initiative seeks to expand the protection network and provide opportunities for coexistence and development for those in the Shelter. Residents of Araucária and neighboring cities, over 18 years of age, who are not registered in adoption processes, can participate. The program can also count on the participation of companies, independent professionals and volunteers interested in contributing through the provision of services, donations or material support. Children and adolescents kept in institutional care had their fundamental rights violated or threatened and were temporarily removed from their families by a judicial protective measure for their own protection, operating under the guidelines of the Child and Adolescent Statute. The activities are carried out with authorization from the Justice system, respecting the needs and particularities of each child or adolescent. The bond can remain as long as there is interest and agreement between those involved.
