Youth:Work Mexico Fact Sheet

This fact sheet provides a brief description of the Youth:Work Mexico program. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the International Youth Foundation launched the program in 2010 to address youth challenges in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, two of Mexico’s most violent and crime-ridden communities. Working with local civil society groups, the initiative helps to create safe spaces for disadvantaged young people, strengthen and expand after-school and summer programs, and prepare Mexican youth for viable futures through self or salaried employment. The fact sheet is available only in Spanish.
