Charity
Navigator project
Navigator is a vocational guidance project.
Objectives of the project: motivating orphaned children and children without parental care to graduate and master nonprofessional occupations and helping them with their professional self-identification. The project promotes social adaptation of orphanages and boarding schools graduates, as well as the increase in the number of blue-collar workers, which stays in line with social and economic policy of the Russian Government in the sphere of education.
In 2016, the Navigator Project was named among three best social projects in Southern Russia. It was announced following the results of the VII Regional Award for Public Relations Development “Silver Archer-South”.
Project Background:
In 2015, with the assistance of the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region, STG implemented the Navigator project in Nizhny Novgorod.
Over 20 residents (aged from 12 to 18) of Special Boarding School No 1 for orphaned children and children without parental care participated in the project. A guided tour to the 2018 FIFA World Cup stadium construction site in Nizhny Novgorod was organized for the teenagers. The children communicated with construction workers of different types, as well as Deputy Governor Dmitry Svatkovsky, and goal-keeper of the Nizhny Novgorod team "Volga-Olimpiyets" Maxim Shumaylov. An open lesson dedicated to the preparation for the World Cup was held for the children, souvenirs with official 2018 World Cup branding and souvenir photos of the stadium construction site visit were presented.
In 2016, STG implemented a project in the Volgograd Region with the support of the Ministry of Education and the Regional Committee for Youth Policy headed by Olympic champion Elena Slesarenko.
Over 120 residents (aged from 12 to 17) from seven orphanages and boarding schools participated in the vocational guidance program. For teenagers, there were organized tours to Volgograd Arena construction site and the leading industrial enterprises and educational institutions of the region. To participate in the correspondence competition "My Profession is My Future" the children sent in their works (drawings, poems, essays, photos).
The key project event was a two-day Navigator festival attended by the majority of the students from orphanages of the region. The children had an opportunity to talk with the guests, such as Alexander Nikitin, a Volgograd football legend and an ambassador of 2018 FIFA Host City of Volgograd, Alexander Gezalov, an expert in social orphanhood and a graduate of a children’s home himself, and Larisa Ilchenko, an Olympic champion, as well as other successful personalities who shared their life experience with the children and inspired them to the future achievements.
Within the framework of the festival there was held a careers fair, where teenagers were able to get individual consultations with representatives of different professions, including STG employees from the Moscow office and Volgograd Arena construction site. The specialists from the leading enterprises and educational institutions held workshops and trivia games. The acquired knowledge was solidified during the team game "The Alphabet of Professions" .

Commemorative plaques with Stroytransgaz name on them were attached to the renovated mansions.
STG charity work in Macedonia
