Empower 19 youths living on the streets in Mexico

Outdoors activities

On this opportunity we want to let you know about some of the activities that our youngsters develop outside the Youth House to strength their social skills, coexistence, and the way in which rules should be respected.

On weekends, our youths use to perform various sports activities in open spaces, such as parks and gardens throughout the city. These occasions are ideal for spending a pleasant time, exercising, and developing skills, attitudes, and values.

Another kind of the recreational activities that take place outdoors are visits to coffee shops, the cinema, conferences, and museums. During the holiday recess of Easter, our young people went to a “balneario” to enjoy the sunny days. It should be noted that in this opportunity those young people who already have a paid job, financially supported the rest of their colleagues, who still do not have it, with the expense derived from admission to the “balneario” facilities. In this way they can strengthen ties of solidarity, collaboration, and support.

Workshops

While we emphasize the need to live together and socialize outdoors, our young people constantly assist to workshops that deal with important topics for their development, such as: values, communication, decision making, sexuality and gender equality. The workshops are held at the Youth House and at the JUCONI Center where they can get along with other youth and adolescents who are part of the JUCONI Program, to continue strengthening socialization skills and sensitivity to different realities.

News inside the House

JUCONI’s work is possible due to the great effort made by our beneficiaries, our staff, and our generous donors. Throughout our 29 years fighting violence, several people and organizations have trusted on our methodology and our impacts to combat the intergenerational cycles of violence.

Recently, the trust that a Mexican organization placed in us, made possible the improvement of two facilities of the Youth House: the recreational area and the bathroom. Today our youths enjoy safer, more dignified, and renewed spaces. Every single donation allows us to keep working on the skill development, living conditions, trauma relief and coexistence of the young people who live and attend the House.

We are very happy to share with you the improvements in the Youth House and to let you know that, through your generous donations the project that supports and empowers 19 young people in their process of building a harmonious, independent life, far from the street and violence is kept alive and generating positive and transcendent impacts. Not only the lives of our young people are favored, in the process, society meets better citizens committed with healing, well-being and peace.

Thanks to your confidence and your generous donations, today we have been able to raise a total of $36,813.14 dollars; this amount, means the possibility of transforming lives and fighting the consequences of violence, while breaking its reproduction through intergenerational cycles. Without a doubt, your participation constitutes a fundamental piece in the construction of a world without violence.

Receive our sincere gratitude.
