The research approach was qualitative and exploratory. The method chosen was cartography, with collect techniques composed of informal and formal semi-structured interviews, in addition to participant observation. The research revealed that the SVB Fronteira da Paz group has a hybrid organizing, in which features of more than one organizational form can be perceived, with characteristics of more bureaucratic ways of organizing mixed with features of anarchic organizations such as the immediatist ones, in addition to its reason to exist strongly counterhegemonic. Regarding how the group participants organize power and their form of management, a hybrid organization could also be perceived when observing a group governed by principles of self-management, but with traits of hetero-management, revealing the organizational hybridity that marks the configuration of their work process.
