After the data collection, analysis was made of the interviews and, while after the bibliographic review, We observe the motivations that had precursors. They had to join as a volunteer teacher in this community pre-university, after being students of the pre. At the end of the study, it was found that the motivations of precursors are based on the sense of belonging to the local community, the emotional bonds that have been built and the desire to contribute to continue the CPVCPSA activities. It was also concluded that the meaning of this experience pervaded the issue of participatory citizenship of the subjects, as the survey respondents from the inclusion in the Pre-College, became multipliers and emblematic personalities. The interviews showed that the precursors brought successful careers and commitment to the transformation of students reality, generated mostly positive repercussions on the Community pre-university itself, in the family, community and in the general neighborhood.
