The Fundecitrus Education Center (C.E.) was established in the late 1990s by Fundecitrus, in partnership with the government. Located close to Fundecitrus in Araraquara (SP), it serves about 300 children and adolescents, aged six to 14, with activities after school hours.
Students receive tutoring, take part in music and sports activities, among others, and participate in reading and environmental education workshops.
Fundecitrus provides the school with support for the maintenance and improvement of its infrastructure, including renovations and repairs, donation of equipment and materials, in addition to lectures, actions and campaigns to benefit students.
In 2019, a voluntary action by Fundecitrus employees revitalized the abandoned vegetable garden at the C.E. with the help from students. Produce started to be used in the preparation of meals served daily to students.
