Our educational community co-creates learning experiences that support students in developing the character, knowledge, and skills to reach their maximum potential. This cultivates positive and lasting change for themselves, for their families and community, and for Guatemala.
Vision:
Our vision is to catalyze a positive, transformative, and lasting impact by educating and inspiring youth leaders to build an equitable, strong, and just society.
THE INNOVATIVE LEARNING CENTER
The Path Forward: Turning Hope Into Opportunity
We are preparing for the building of our new middle school, the Innovative Learning Center, which will allow us to serve our students through 9th grade. While we have met our “bricks and mortar” fundraising goal and plan to break ground in the coming months, we are still working on bringing the building to life in the form of supporting the people and programs within it. You can help with this vision by making a donation today!
This is the culmination of a long-time vision to serve our students through a critical point in their lives. If we can transition our students seamlessly from primary into middle school, our students are more likely to stay engaged and complete 9th grade. This will enable them to go on to find work outside the dump community, enter secondary school or university, or intern at an organization and truly break the cycle of poverty. To get an idea of how important this new location will be for our students, check our our self-guided virtual tour above. Details can also be found in the case statement above in English or Spanish.
Join us in this next phase of turning hope into opportunity!
