Mission

Fundacion Accion Jovens (FAJ) mission is to prevent high school students from dropping out of school. FAJ accomplishes this through its Integral Model for Preventing Educational Exclusion, which empowers high schools as centers of hope for communities facing adverse contexts. We provide educational, life skills and employment opportunities for youth through youth employment and entreprenuership programs. As part of our work to prevent youth violence and contribute to positive youth development, we also work with adolscent men and women that are not currently in the formal educational system to help them achieve educational and/or employment opportunities.
