History

Founded in 2010 by Andrew Lorimer and friends in Rio de Janeiro, in the Dona Marta community, VidaGol was transferred to São Paulo in 2013. The dream was born from a love for sports, particularly soccer, and a passion for helping teenagers. These passions and a lot of prayer resulted in VidaGol.

​

In 2020, friends launched VidaGol Careers - an initiative focused on providing more effective and comprehensive formal education for young people who do not have the same opportunities for development, due to their economic condition.

​

The inauguration of VidaGol Entrepreneurs is scheduled for October 2021 - a new arm of the association focused on providing job opportunities for young people, starting with a café space that will be managed by a group of young people from VidaGol.

​

In July 2022, VidaGol made a dream come true - it took its students to the United Kingdom for an unforgettable trip. The boys visited London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Isle of Skye and Cambridge. The girls swapped the Isle of Skye for Paris! Thank you Lord!!!
