Whatever the volunteering modality you choose for this program, we invite you to join the general volunteer chat where we share important instructions and news, or ask you for help for something specific.
Below we explain each program in detail. It is important that if a specific program catches your attention, you write it down in the form so that we can take you into account when the time comes to plan the semester. Just because you sign up does not mean that you will have to be a mandatory volunteer, we will ask you first! At that time we will ask you about your preferred time, specific ages, among other details.
All of our programs are measurable, scalable and flexible. If you want to know these processes better, read the descriptions carefully and if you have any doubts or want to go deeper, write to the Project Coordination.
Childhood Program
The Childhood Program accompanies boys and girls from 4 to 10 years old. Its objective is to educate girls and boys from 4 to 10 years of age through support for the development of training goals in order to prepare them for their youth. This is achieved through four areas: emotional health, self-discovery, social skills, and cognitive and physical skills. Our classes are learning spaces through play, so in the initial induction we are going to train you very well so that you do not have doubts about how to implement your class. You don't have to have prior knowledge to do it well! We also give you the manual for your class so that you perfectly understand what subject to teach.

Programa de Juventudes
The Youth Program accompanies young people from 11 to 24 years old. Its objective is to accompany young people from 11 to 24 years old and guide them to become healthy and well-rounded people, in order to break the cycle of poverty. This is achieved through three areas: mental health, self-discovery and building a vision for life.
There are three ways to get involved in this program:

Additionally, you must train for a full weekend and complete weekly evaluations of your group. It is a position that requires a lot of time and commitment, but it allows you to connect with your group more than any other volunteer option. If you have the time, we highly recommend it!
2- Mentoring: is a person who provides individual support to a specific person, who, depending on their age, will require vocational guidance or work on other objectives. Additionally, you must train for a full weekend.
