Community

We serve children and youth between the ages of 7 and 18. We embrace the innocence of children and youth, challenging the power of criminality and injustice, providing them with powerful and effective tools that unlock their fears, traumas and frustrations, to creatively address the challenges of social poverty in the Metropolitan Area of Medellin (Antioquia-Colombia).

COMUNIDAD

The problem that we
contribute to solve:

High-risk youth are the least likely to receive adequate education to develop their growth mindsets and education to develop their growth mindset and social-emotional skills, which affects how they cope with their own realities and the social-emotional skills, which affects the way they face their own realities and the possibilities of accessing decent employment opportunities.

The lack of a harmonious mental health, the scarcity of positive references, the harmful use of alcohol and drugs has increased among young adolescents, leading to higher and higher school dropout rates, involvement in criminal activities and increased unemployment rates.
