USAID

Since 2010, USAID and Glasswing International have worked together to provide youth with tools to make better life choices and discover their full potential, promoting positive alternatives to crime and violence. This has been a true cross-sector effort, engaging private companies, teachers, parents, and other members from these communities to participate in the programs. With the help of volunteers, 122 public schools have been rehabilitated and revitalized, which now represent safer and more stimulating environments for their students. Additionally, community volunteers lead after-school clubs that have been implemented in 47 schools across El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To date, this partnership has impacted the lives of more than 72,000 children and youth.

TELUS employees also lead year-round after-school programs each week and serve as positive role models for hundreds of children and youth. They provide educational, sports, and cultural enrichment opportunities to students as well as lead a special initiative for high school seniors called “Mi Primer Empleo.” These programs have benefited the lives of 800 students.

The participation of BanPais volunteers within the schools has helped increase the enterprise’s investment and dedication within each community.

CITI

Citibank and Glasswing International have partnered since 2011 to mobilize thousands of volunteers and positively affect tens of thousands of people each year through Citi’s Global Community Day in both El Salvador and Guatemala. Citi and Glasswing also partner on a financial literacy and entrepreneurship program for Salvadoran youth, which has benefited more than 300 young women and men by promoting life skills as well as vocational, financial, and job readiness training. The program has particularly focused on young women (adapted from a model developed by the Population Council) and includes weekly peer-based mentoring that builds both their social and financial skills, enabling them to realize their full potential and change their own communities.
