Fundación Terra, in its commitment to leadership development for the youth of Central America, announces the launch of the innovative program "Jóvenes Líderes al Servicio" This program aims to empower young people from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador through comprehensive training and the development of skills for active and transformative participation in society.

The "Youth Leaders in Service" program will run from March 2 to June 29, providing participants with a training experience consisting of 4 thematic modules, subdivided into 16 Saturday sessions, each lasting 3 hours. The hybrid format, combining in-person and virtual sessions, will allow the 60 selected young individuals to interact with 15 international speakers and receive guidance from 8 specialized national facilitators.

Following an open call that attracted over 400 applicants, a careful selection process based on regional impact, age, and leadership experience identified the 60 most promising young individuals. The selected candidates, aged between 18 and 28, are university interns or graduates with a proven track record in leadership initiatives.

Architect Fredy Nasser, Executive President of Fundación Terra, expressed, "We firmly believe that youth are the cornerstone for the transformation and progress of our nations. With the 'Jóvenes Líderes al Servicio' program, we are investing in the potential of our young leaders to be the change agents our region needs. I am convinced that their vision, passion, and dedication will bring innovative solutions to the challenges we face."

The training covers essential topics for effective leadership development, from impact generation and vision to the analysis of government systems and the development of public policies. The modules are designed to encourage interaction and debate, as well as to inspire young individuals to generate community development project initiatives, social entrepreneurship, and proposals for public policy.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a Training Certificate endorsed by the prestigious Central American Technological University (UNITEC), accrediting the 48 hours of specialized training they have received.

"Young people today are leaders not only of tomorrow but also of the present. Through the 'Jóvenes Líderes al Servicio' program, we seek to provide them with the necessary tools to forge a brighter future for all," added Mariel Rivera, Executive Director of Fundación Terra, reflecting the organization's long-term commitment to youth leadership in the region.

Fundación Terra takes pride in contributing to the strengthening of young leadership in the region and is confident that the knowledge and experiences gained by participants in the "Jóvenes Líderes al Servicio" program will have a positive and lasting impact on the development of their countries and communities.
