Empowering Agents of Change to study in Yucatan

Dear Impulso friends and family,

From the beginning of the school year, Impulso Universitario has been working with 272 young people, intending to train new Agents of Change to better our community. Seventy-nine of these youth belong to our latest generation of students, with the rest returning from previous years to continue their path in our Comprehensive Training Program. 

Up to five sessions of the program have been carried out to date. We are covering diverse topics, from skills for job readiness and professional settings to the promotion of an ethical approach to social development and betterment of the community, passing through the adoption of better-studying strategies for university. At the same time, other activities have been completed to promote the integration of our different student groups in our four locations. Additionally, other activities were to further acknowledge and work on the existence of cultural identities in our communities. 

It is also important to note that our Comprehensive Training Program has been modified for the ongoing year. We have changed the content and adapted it to current topics of importance for advancing our student's education. The order in which the information is reviewed has also been changed to accommodate better opportunities for our youth in their professional growth.  

Furthermore, financial aid and psychological support have been implemented since the beginning of September. As you may know, this is intended to reduce or eliminate possible economic and social barriers that lead to early academic drop-out of our students. The aid amount has been modified for students returning to our programs, slightly increasing it to adjust to their present situation. 

Thank you for supporting Impulso Universitario at the beginning of a new school year; your generosity allows our students to complete their studies and become promoters of the common good for the communities.
