## Gerando Líderes Institute

The institute was founded in late 2023 by businessman and customer service specialist Sanger Santos, with the aim of training young people for the job market and developing leadership skills. The organization stands out for 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 aimed at youth development. One of the important milestones was the partnership with the company HIPED, where classes I and II received specialized mentoring.
The institute is a group of young, inspiring leaders with a purpose to serve others. They adopt the habit of going above and beyond, always seeking excellence in their actions. The motto "Eagle flies with eagle" reflects the philosophy that strong leaders come together to achieve great goals.
