354 youth graduated from high shool thanks to Cimientos scholarships and mentorings and were advised to help them define their life project on this new period.
491 graduates received vital job training such as how to search for a job, computer skills, sales and marketing, accounting lessons and customer supports.
46 participants were granted college scholarships and 6 of them proudly graduated and now have a college degree.
42 graduates found jobs thanks thanks to our help and obtained personalized mentoring during the first 3 months at their new jobs.
32 participants volunteered at Cimientos.
4 graduates meetings were held with a total of 161 participants.
10 workshops and graduates meetings were held for 355 youth, who learned how to make their CVs, recieved vocational training and listened to testimonies of different proffessionals.

By Maria Hilaire | Graduates Network Director

Training workshops in San Nicolas and Ramallo

Dear friends,

This is just a quick message to share wonderful news with you... If you make a donation on November 29th, 2016, from 00:00:01 EST til 23:59:59 EST GlobalGiving will give us a 50% match. More so, new recurring donations up to $100 USD per month per unique donor per organization will have their initial donation matched at 200% on this #GivingTuesday campaign. :)

Please consider donating to our project on this date so that we can enlarge our funds and help more Argentine Youth escape poverty!

This year is almost coming to an end and we have plenty of things to give thanks for... December is a really special month to us because school classes finish in Argentina so it´s a great month to celebrate the graduation of new children. 360 low- income youth from 15 provinces are finishing high school thanks to Cimientos scholarships and mentorings and many of them got excellent grades and were the best pupils of their whole class!!!!!

We will share the rest of our annual results in our next report because we are still working hard until the last minute to help more youth find their first job... For instance, next Thursday December 1st we are holding our last workshop and get together for our youth. Around 50 of them have confirmed their attendance. During this event, they will prepare their resume and will be trained for their first work interview. At the end, 25 Human Resources employers from more than 10 firms will come to interview them for real job opportunities!!!!

December is also a special month because all over the world people celebrate Christmas and New Year and like to give special presents to their beloved ones. Please consider giving a gift card of our project to your family and friends. This can make a huge difference to our project, increasing our impact in low-income youth lives!

Best regards,

María Hilaire
