Adelante - Youth Empowerment Program

Adelante - Youth Empowerment Program Truth through Humanitarian Means Mend, is a UC Berkeley based student group. The center will operate everyday except Sundays, for 1.5 months each summer.

We are currently working to provide impoverished Mexican communities with ¡Adelante!, a program that will serve to address the problem of lack of resources and opportunities available to at-risk youth in Mexico in the form of free-of-cost youth empowerment programs. Our Summer 2014 pilot program will be in Aguascalientes, Mexico in the community of Las Cumbres 3; we hope to later expand to other a

reas in the state and later, nationally. The center will aim to provide at-risk low-income youth (ages 13-15) with an environment focused on education and positive values that will motivate them to pursue higher education. The center’s curriculum will revolve around three branches of personal empowerment: community development, academic development, and professional development. We are currently in the development and funding stages.

How do you fight organized crime in Mexico? With small business loans and after-school programs.

For the last six years, a little-known infusion of American tax dollars has played a part in the fight against organized crime in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez. Part of the money for the Merida Initiative is used to keep young people out of drug cartels and help boost the economy.

Our students were tasked with brainstorming ways to support their community's development this summer. We discussed through some awesome ideas ranging from community beautification, poverty, and product development among others. The students voted to focus this summer on hunger and financial hardships for their community development project. The students decided to construct 15 bunny hutches which will allow them and their families to maintain a bunny farm to supplement their family incomes and food supply. Here are a few pics of our students' journey.

Big shoutout to the contributors of our online campaign this summer Cristian J. Foronda, Aimee Kurachi and Orlando Castillejos who partly funded these scholarships!

The last day of our program concluded with a presentation to our student's parents on the importance in supporting their childrens' educational paths, a talent show, a scholarship giveaway, and a raffle of all our school supplies and donated articles where students bought items using their fake Adelante money they had been awarded this summer.

This summer we were able to take our students to the state university where they met some college students, learned about diferent majors and sample career paths, and were given a private tour of the university's TV station. Overall the kids were very excited and took on a newfound interest in their own educational path. Y muchas gracias a Maru Perea por su apoyo en organizando nuestro paseo!
