Youth Project

Facing few options for schooling and jobs Honduran youth in marginalized communities are more easily drawn to substance abuse gang recruitment labor exploitation and irregular migration. The IAF supports community-led approaches to expanding meaningful economic opportunity for at-risk youth.

Our grantee partner ACPH engages with the public and private sectors to promote alternatives to migration in the municipality of El Progreso by developing employment skills encouraging local entrepreneurship and expanding labor market access for at-risk youth. This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
