Abstract
This article presents the trajectories of young people regarding access to social policies in compliance with social and educational measure services in order to understand how Brazilian social policies have an opportunistic trajectory of guaranteeing rights and favorable conditions for the development of children and adolescents. The theoretical framework used was the cultural-historical psychology of Vigotski. Interviews were conducted with ten young people and then analyzed through Thematic Content Analysis. The results revealed that the young participants of this research accessed the actions promoted by the social policies of health, education and social assistance. However, despite this access, these social policies didn’t present themselves as effective tools for the protection and guarantee of the rights of these young people, since even though young people have gone through such policies, they have not been able to break with the trajectories of lack of protection to which they have been experienced.
