Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze local policies proposals directed to the youth of Vitoria city in Brazil. The main goal is to identify these actions and to understand policy managers concept of youth. Besides, the study aimed to understand how do young people participate on the management of these policies and how do local management integrates these policies among different sectors within the city´s prefecture. We analyzed Brazilian social policies origins and contents since 1950s. This analysis allowed debating district management as a local power and its increased receptivity to social participation on public management after the establishment of democracy. We discuss the Youth Chamber when we analyze another aspect concerning management´s organization in order to promote intersectoariality as part of the services rendered to local youth. When it comes to the meaning of youth the results indicate two main ideas: it is either seen as a problem, either as a solution. The prefecture mentioned above has implemented several actions to respond to the youngsters needs and demands. However the prefecture is being faced with two major challenges: at first, to establish youngs participation which is setting of several sectors; second, to create an internal group specifically to discuss the integration of policies offered to the local youth.
