Adolescence is hard. Without support, young people often turn to risky behaviors, derailing their path to a healthy and productive adulthood. Health risk behaviors are interrelated and primarily established during adolescence, costing individuals, families, and society billions of dollars and immeasurable suffering.

1 in 4 girls under the age of 19 in Nicaragua has already had a child

79% of teen suicides occur in low and medium income countries

2 in 3 people arrested for drug trafficking in El Salvador are under 24

50% of sexually active teens in Latin America never use protection

Youth in Central America face these and many other risk behaviors, that we believe can be prevented.

Adolescence is also an opportunity. Teens are establishing lifelong habits, so it is critical to invest in preventing risk behaviors. We aim to not only provide social and economic benefits, but also build a healthy generation founded on personal leadership.
