The Vision for Vulnerable Youth Initiative focuses on developing the literacy, life skills and civic values of teens and young adults in Central and South America. The program works with young people aged 14–29 using the Youth Ready curriculum, which trains participants in emotional, cognitive and communication skills that help with the development of their livelihoods. The pandemic brought with it several challenges for the Vision for Vulnerable Youth Initiative. Adapting our methods was necessary for the program to continue effectively, and these changes provided several learning opportunities.

Invest in stronger communities

When you give where most needed, you’ll help provide things like healthcare, safety, food, clean water and more to vulnerable children and families around the world. It’s a powerful way to help fight poverty and hunger, and give hope to those in need.
