Subject Area: Education, Childhood, Youth
Location: Buenos Aires City and Santa Fe City.
Goals:
- Provide full support and education to socially vulnerable youth and children.
- Generate a space for active participation.
- Reduce the vulnerability of young university students, at risk of dropping their studies due to financial difficulties.
- Increase the educational accomplishments of the beneficiaries (tutors and children), as well as their motivation to their studies, self-esteem, and their civic responsibility and participation.
- Help, promote and enrich the lives of socially vulnerable children
Description: The Program aims at strengthening the bonds between two very different population sectors: university students and school children. Our purpose is to develop a working model based on personalized tutorships, youth in a vulnerable situation (college and university students at risk of losing continuity in their studies due to lack of means) who will support socially vulnerable children in the emotional, social, educational and cultural spheres, generating bonds of affection between child and tutor. Tutors receive a financial incentive that allows them to continue their studies. The Program’s added value lies in the promotion of students’ commitment to the community by undertaking civic responsibilities as active members.
Budget: $79.000 / U$S 23.723
