MISSION ACTIVATION PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE WELLBEING FOR THE MIND:

• We promote University and Technical Degrees to break family poverty cycles. With 26% of Costa Rica  living in extreme poverty, and another 50% in the working class earning less than $800 per month, education is the pathway out of poverty and into Costa Rica's professional middle class.
• We provide training workshops and events in our Community Center and in local schools to promote personal empowerment and "Asset-Based Community Development."  These include: Our S.T.E.M. for girls events to break career stereotypes, promote gender equality through education and career opportunities, prevent teen pregnancy and reduce childhood poverty; Our Sexual Abuse Prevention Workshops to prevent and provide support for victims of sexual assault, trafficking, and incest among our most vulnerable populations; Our Meaning in Life courses in collaboration with the Viktor Frankl Institute teaches God-given dignity, meaning in life, and how to transform pain into purpose.

Bilingual jobs and client service positions at both entry-level and professional career level are increasingly available in our developing, bilingual, international and intercultural tourist zone of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
• We provide Psychological counseling in collaboration with Universidad de Costa Rica to support for vulnerable populations who are struggling with mental health and family crises, including depression, co-dependency, domestic violence, sexual abuse survival, suicidal thoughts and more.
