Alliance of FUNDACIÓN COMUNITARIA DON DIEGO A.C. WITH YOUTHBUILD
Our Foundation is working together with experts of the association YouthBuild to extend the overall education of our students.
YouthBuild Mexico aims to achieve social mobility for opportunity youth through social, educational, and labor inclusion, strengthening their resilience and developing skills for life and dignified work.
The work plan is a joint effort between YouthBuild Mexico and the Don Diego Community Foundation to pool resources with the goal of improving opportunities for the youth of San Miguel to access dignified work. This is to be achieved by strengthening their employability skills, expanding their network of relationships, and connecting them with professionals linked to the formal employment sector.
It is essential to recognize the importance of integrating rural students into the labor market. These young people often face significant challenges, including limited access to quality education, fewer professional networks, and geographical isolation. By providing them with the necessary tools, skills, and connections, we can break the cycle of poverty, reduce inequality, and empower them to build a better future for themselves and their communities. Supporting the labor integration of rural youth not only benefits them individually but also contributes to the socio-economic development of their regions, fostering a more inclusive and prosperous society.
Work Plan
I. Learning Support for the Don Diego Community Foundation with the Prepa Pro Program
YouthBuild commits to providing continuous and personalized support to students enrolled on time and who are part of the Don Diego community. This support will include the evaluation of academic progress, and personal and professional development of the students. The aim is to engage the youth from the Don Diego community participating in Prepa Pro, aligning the YBM program to contribute to their development by guiding and supporting them in their transition to formal employment.
Integrating rural students into the labor market is not just about employment but also about creating pathways to opportunities. It involves equipping them with soft skills, fostering entrepreneurial thinking, and helping them understand the demands of the modern workforce. By doing so, we enable them to contribute meaningfully to the economy and community, transforming them into agents of change who can inspire others in their surroundings.
II. Use of Facilities
Both parties agree that students from the "Jóvenes con Rumbo" (Youth with Direction) program will be able to use the facilities of the Don Diego Community Foundation located at "Domicilio conocido SN, Comunidad de Santa Teresita Don Diego, CP 37897" to carry out activities related to the "Jóvenes con Rumbo" Program. This use will be subject to the conditions and terms of the Association, respecting any internal regulations established by the entity providing the facilities. The youth commit to respecting the usage norms established, as well as the schedules and conditions of use.
Access to proper facilities is crucial for the effective learning and training of rural students. These spaces not only serve as venues for educational activities but also as centers where students can interact with professionals, participate in workshops, and gain hands-on experience. By providing such environments, we are bridging the gap between rural and urban education, ensuring that rural youth have equal opportunities to develop their skills and pursue meaningful care
