Why do We exist?<\/span><\/h2>

BOOST is the result of a collaboration between Porto Business School and Projeto Trinsheira, based on a shared\nbelief: leave no one behind.\n

\nBOOST is a Partnership for Social Innovation solution that brings together academia, governance, and community,\nwith the support of the Matosinhos City Council and MatosinhosHabit.\n

\nOur mission is to build opportunities for the future and generate sustainable impact in the most vulnerable\ncommunities. We believe that the potential for transformation lies in people \u2014 especially young people \u2014 and that\nsocial innovation can be the engine for a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
