Many young people in Mexico do not reach higher levels of education because their families cannot afford the costs of high school and college education. We are a program that helps indigenous students with scholarships so they have access to education while providing them with personal and developmental courses to overcome personal hurdles to reaching their dreams of a better life. Students give back to the community through ongoing service projects including tutoring local grade school children
Education has proven to be one of the most powerful tools to fight poverty. Most young people from rural and urban indigenous communities in Mexico live in extreme poverty and not have access to school due the low family income and the high costs of higher education. Only 27% of indigenous students finish high school fewer gradate from college. Families often use what few resouces they have to educate one child leaving others behind in poverty.
Centro de Compartimiento has a scholarship program that helps students with the costs of education including, school supplies, transportation, food, and rent whil provicing personal and leadership skills development for youth 15 to 25. We enable students to focus on studies without the need to work to support their education. Students are also encouraged to dream about their future and find their purpose in life.
We see the young indigenous people of Mexico not only being able to break out of thier own economic poverty but as future leaders capable of moving their communities toward sustainable development. Our goal is to help them to become change agents for their communities, impacting not only thier own families but other is there communities as well, and they take the knowledge they have gained in the program back home.
