Academic Partnership with Centro Esolcar Los Amates

Having ally ships with local schools is one of our ongoing accomplishments in Los Amates. Not only do we honour the connections we are able to contribute to, but our intention is also to develop unique relationships with other educational institutions and their students throughout El Salvador. Education is part of our foundation as we are assuming the responsibility of engaging with youth on a daily basis, therefore it is important to emphasize that education comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes outside the classroom. In partnering with local schools and communities, we are able to organically form relationships and help encourage community building with parents and their children, and most importantly with the teachers as we enforce that children maintain a certain grade average in order to participate of the field. We believe in maintaining a strong community and support system for the children and those at risk of gang violence, and in doing so we involve all parts that make up a support system for children and this is why we place great value in the participation of local schools and their teachers who these children spend a large amount of time with.
