Youth Builds: Jovenes Constructores

I have begun volunteer placement at the Human Rights Collective through Catholic Relief Services here in the City. Their current project is called “Youth Builds” and focuses on engaging with “at risk youth” in order to secure education, innovative independent micro-business and or employment.  Furthermore, they are working to connect youth with elders- in order to restore community history. 

I will be working in Art and Dance activities in group work and Educational efforts:) 

At the moment- I am researching a qualitative attempt at quantifying significant changes on independent and community levels- after programs such as Youth Builds. This process is called “The Most Significant Change”- and it is my job to assess the community changesin a structured format! 

Lots to do…. here we go!

On January 29th, Rotarians from North and Central America gathered to socialize, create partnerships and learn about one another’s initiatives from across borders. 

Rotarians from the North were interested in learning about El Salvadorean projects in order to assess if their club could support through the Global Grants Fund!

I was working with the head surgeon within the Kidney Transplant Pediatrics ward at Bloom Children’s Hospital- in translating the project for the visiting Rotarians. 

It was an incredible event for Rotary and many meaningful relationships were established.
