THREE STAGES

A youngster can choose to leave the streets forever. It is just required that he decides to do so and that he is offered opportunities to improve his life.

To make this possible, we have developed a three-staged Educational Model:

Working in the streets

The educators approach the youngsters in a friendly manner and invite them to join in games and activities that help them prepare to attend the Day Center.

Our Day Center

Our Day Center is open from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Educators assist the youngsters in developing their intellectual, social and affective abilities and help them acquire healthy habits. This environment is dramatically different from that of the streets which is an opportunity for the youngster to compare the street and the Day Center.

Choosing a New Way of Life

Once a youngster has made his life choice, the educator follows up to see if he has the stability he needs to continue to develop on this new path, away from the streets. He can go to an institution, go back to his family or start living on his own.
