What we do?

“I have the desire to learn and grow every day and to be a person who does good. I dream of a better future and a dignified job.” 

Claudia, 14 year old scholarship student

Our mission is “To encourage education and active participation of adolescents that have fewer opportunities and through them create sustainable social change in the community.”

The scholars will get to know each other during the first day of activities. In the first activity, one student throws a ball of wool to another and the recipient answers a question about them self. In this way a network of relationship and friendship is born.

The Give an Opportunity Program was created in order to accompany and help the students that show a strong interest in education, have good grades, but because of socioeconomic issues are at risk of dropping out of school.  The beneficiaries are students that have few resources, stand out in the academic area, and have no disciplinary issues.
 

The goal is to create a favorable environment so that the student does not feel obliged to abandon his studies, will have the necessary tools to reach his vocational training and develop integrity. Our program seeks to promote values such as responsibility, effort, inter-cultural communication and the active participation of the youths, so that they can later develop sustainable changes in the community.
