One of the most challenging in the field of education!
After thirty years of transforming lives through education, they offer Reentry Programs to retrieve trajectories for at-risk populations so they can complete their primary and secondary levels and prepare for beyond.
The network welcomes children/youths with lived experience of education exclusion, often exposed to high childhood traumas-poverty and serious learning gaps of 2+ years; the modality offered is 2-in-1. It’s a deep intervention after the system has abandoned them, offering a new meaning to reshape their previous frustrating experiences and bring out the best of themselves.
The work focuses on developing socio-emotional & cognitive skills through active methodologies and careful academic growth to promote and build educational trajectories & life projects. It includes training workshops to provide skills for the labor market or pursue other levels.
Scope of action:
1) Four Reentry Schools (4) located in La Granja, Maipú, Renca y Lota.
2) Socio-educational programs. Non-formal education for vulnerable children/youth outside the regular school system, offering personalized tutorials and group training space.
3) Transferring experience to the school community. Technical accompaniment to educational institutions & the Integrated Education Center for Adults (CEIA) to support the following offers:
a) Spaces for educational reencounter. Technical support to institutions that want to diversify their academic offer by opening spaces for educational reencounter through a Reentry Classroom.
b) A reentry Model. Technical support to institutions-schools that want to improve the diversification of their educational offer as a Reentry institution.
4) Studies and research. As an active part of civil society, the foundation has become a natural counterpart of the state on public policies, improving and taking proactive actions, anticipating its efforts in essential issues on education exclusion.
5) Project and innovation. To improve social management in alliance with friendly civil society actors, we provide new and better opportunities for high-impact learning experiences. Examples include food truck entrepreneurship, job training workshops in the Reentry schools, digital transformation, eco-friendly clothing, etc.
