Additional Information
We work with youth from marginalized, low-income rural and peripheral communities in Guatemala and El Salvador, focusing on areas where growing climate vulnerability, environmental degradation, economic exclusion and limited opportunities are placing increasing numbers of youth at-risk to the influence of gangs, violence, migration and other impacts of social disintegration.
Our young leaders are the unlikely leaders on the front lines of enormous political, social, environmental and economic changes. Working to ensure “nothing about us without us”, we support our youth to develop 21st century leadership skills, build their citizen muscles, and become part of a rapidly-growing inclusive network of social entrepreneurs and change-makers that are taking action to combat the most pressing public problems at the local, regional and international levels.
Through education, training and leadership development, we are creating a generation of young leaders who have the skills, sense-of-self and spark to address tough challenges and initiate innovative and creative solutions. Motivated by a strong sense of possibility and purpose, these young leaders are modeling true grassroots entrepreneurship: building community stewardship, fostering regenerative resilience and making a stand for justice and equality for people and the planet.
