Social projects may produce positive changes in socially vulnerable communities. The social project named "Ponto de Leitura Marista Sul" inspired this research on the evaluation of potential benefits reading and debating on the quality of life of teenagers. This research investigates the quality of life of the teenagers using the WHOQOL-bref test to provide an objective assessment on quality of life. In addition to that, this research also exploits a socio-demographic background questionnaire and interviews with teenegers who participated in the project, as well as their family members. The quantitative evaluation using WHOQOL-bref presented limited results on the objective of providing evidence to the benefits of social projects on teeneagers. On the other side, the quantitative analysis provided relevant data such as advances in language and expansion of critical sense that may inspire new debates and longitudinal studies.
