November - December 2019 Fuerza Trip
We’re excited to share that we had another successful year of the Fuerza para el Futuro youth leadership development program, with our highest number of student participants to-date! This year, we continued our focus on nutrition and wellness education, and also spent time discussing topics related to sexual education and violence. The Fuerza Arriba worked closely with the core Fuerza students, helping to coach them as they prepared to present the content they learned to families across the Locomapa region. We also introduced our inaugural class of Fuerza Abajo, established at the request of a group of 10-12 year olds who didn’t meet the minimum age requirement for the core Fuerza program but still felt energized to help their community. Keep reading to learn more about what our group of 60+ Fuerza students and 6 Dartmouth students/alumni accomplished during our week in El Rosario!
