In this way, we sought to understand the meaning and perception of these young people who experienced the referred programs and the perspectives and/or positive or negative changes that added to their lives. In this sense, a qualitative approach based on the non-directive interview technique was used as a working method, which basically consists of obtaining information based on the free speech of the interviewee. Thus, in the ID Jovem Program, offering half price benefits for sporting events, cinema, theaters, among others, in addition to free interstate transport, 29 young people who participated in this Project and the Projovem Urbano Program, which aimed to increase the level of elementary school education and professional qualification, 42 people who participated in this Project were interviewed in 08 (eight) administrative districts of the municipality of Belém, in addition to documentary research. In general, the programs were well accepted by the young population, given the great repercussion and positive impacts on their lives, however, the lack of continuity of youth projects and dissemination of their agendas and the obstacles in the personal and family life of young people project participants add up to major impediments to better performance with quality in school and professional life. Another aspect is the dismantling and weakening that public policies for youth have suffered in recent years, with loss of budget, causing the discontinuity and demobilization of Programs and Projects aimed at this public.
