In this article we examine the effects that attending the CUCA network has had on the lives of young people living in Fortaleza (Brazil). Through a quasi-experiment we carried out an impact assessment to verify the hypothesis that attending CUCA units positively affects young people's lives in the following aspects: family life; social-emotional skills; performance in studies; awareness of citizenship rights; preparation for the labor market; mitigation of illicit drug use; and awareness about how to avoid unwanted pregnancies and / or STDs. In addition, we examine the possibility that the presence of the CUCA provokes an increase in the sense of security in the neighborhood where it is situated. To measure the above mentioned impacts, we use difference-in-difference regression models, in addition to Logit and Probit models. This paper is part of an evaluation work carried out at the request of the Inter-American Development Bank.
