Students that otherwise would have been forced into migration or trapped in the same cycle of poverty as their parents were instead given opportunities to gain new marketable skills. The Rural Youth Development Global Grant funded vocational training programs for aspiring carpenters, beauticians, firefighters, and barbers including internships in the hospitality and coffee industries that gave employment opportunities to high school-aged youth. Nearly 100 students attended entrepreneurship courses and participated in conferences led by Honduran professionals from various sectors ranging from the medical field to environmental conservation. These types of opportunities are rarely available to rural youth, so our Club was proud to play a crucial role in empowering the next generation of leaders in Honduras's most remote communities!
