The Knowledge Stations are spaces maintained by the Vale Foundation that offer educational, cultural, and sports activities in after-school hours, having children and teenagers from 6 to 17 years old as the main target audiences. Through their programs, they contribute to the social development of the communities, fostering creativity, innovation, partnerships articulation, participation and sharing of actions among public entities, organized civil society and communities, valuing the characteristics of each region.    

There are five Knowledge Stations in operation, located in the municipalities of Arari (MA), Brumadinho (MG), Serra (ES), Marabá and Tucumã (PA). They are independent institutions, maintained mainly with direct resources from the Vale Foundation, in addition to incentivized resources from Vale and resources from investment partners. The incentivized resources come from the Childhood and Adolescence Fund (Municipal Councils for the Defense of Children and Adolescents) and the Sports Incentive Law (Special Secretariat for Sports).
