One of every Five youth in Latin America can’t find work or are out of school.
This affects over 20 million youth, an alarming amount, according to a recent John Hopkins study. They say that this lack of opportunity has been linked to widespread violence, crime and extreme inequalities in the labor market.
That’s where World Vision’s Vision for Vulnerable Youth program can help break down barriers and provide pathways to these youth through education, entrepreneurship and employment. Using the Youth Ready curriculum, we can equip youth with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
