Thanks to you, we are making strides!
Thanks to your generous donation to Nuevo Futuro Colombia, we have implemented and continued with programs that provide the necessary tools for our vulnerable youth to help achieve their personal and professional goals.
Two psychologists and three academic tutors have become an integral part of our team. They oversee the following areas:
Professional and Vocational Guidance
We have implemented a program to assist our youngsters between the ages of 15 and18 in becoming aware of their strengths and abilities in order to choose majors best suited to their interests and talents. Through personalized support and workshops, we are also teaching them to investigate relevant information regarding potential universities, scholarship programs and career paths. This program encourages them to pursue their interests and nurtures enthusiasm and commitment.
Specialized Tutoring
Considering the impact that neglect and abuse have on learning processes, with the donations from GlobalGiving, we have incorporated reinforcement programs in five specific areas to guarantee the academic success of our youth. They include Mathematics, language, study skills, social skill development and self-care.
Technology
Thanks to these resources, we are also ensuring that all of our youth have access to the technology, software and connectivity necessary to obtain high-quality academic instruction.
Thanks to your generosity, the professionalism of our psychosocial
team and a group of dedicated volunteers, we are nurturing a group of
outstanding youth who are capable, confident, independent, proactive and
cheerful, and who are eager to collaborate and advance.
Our challenge is to help them overcome the obstacles they have been confronted with and feel proud of their accomplishments and determination. Ultimately, this will enable them to gain financial independence, build happy families and contribute productively to society as a whole. But more than that, we try to instill hope and optimism. We never want them to stop dreaming BIG!
With your continued support, we can make this happen!
