This development becomes an alternative to face the concepts based only on the economic bias that have already proved to be outdated and opens space for aspects such as social inclusion and the environmental issue to be considered. the presete trabaho sought to assess how a social program that seeks to promote sustainable development impacts the social and economic issues in the lives of young people in the rural area of municipalities in the Southern Lowlands of Bahia. To carry out the study, as a methodological approach, a survey was carried out with authors who work on the concept of development, to build the theoretical foundation of the work. There was also a survey of secondary data to characterize the locus of the study, with regard to its socioeconomic indicators. To investigate the impacts that were promoted in the lives of young people and their perceptions towards them, an analysis and tabular plan was built from a database clipping that was complemented with the analysis of primary data, which qualitatively, through a semi-structured interview, it sought to understand the perceptions of young people in relation to the impacts of the program on their lives. It is, therefore, a case study carried out through applied, bibliographic, documentary and field research in order to develop new knowledge available to society, which in an exploratory way collected information about the object under study.
