Study programs

Youth in neighborhoods and communities characterized by a poor physical environment, frequent situations of violence, crime, the availability of psychoactive substances, and a lack of socio-educational resources are in a constant state of personal, economic, and social survival. The daily battle for survival makes it very difficult for them to live a life characterized by a school routine, membership in informal youth activities, participation in clubs, and recreation. Youth clubs of the mentor generation enable youth to move from survival to creation, development, and giving. Youth clubs of the mentor generation are built around a number of educational principles, one of the central of which is the figure of the mentor in the club. On the one hand, the mentors are required to be closely acquainted with the risky situations in which the boys and girls live and the difficulties they present, and on the other hand, to be able to identify personal abilities that exist in the personality of each boy and girl, similar to youth in other living environments, and to allow these abilities to be expressed.
