  • Jóvenes Adelante  provides scholarships and other essential support to young Mexican university students facing economic adversity so that they may acquire the academic and life skills necessary to foster positive social and economic change in their society. Since 2001 Jóvenes Adelante has helped nearly 200 students obtain university degrees. Our standards are high. Through a rigorous screening process – including two interviews, one with the applicant’s family – the brightest and most financially challenged students are identified and assessed. Successful applicants are funded for the entirety of their university studies (four or five years).


    Financial Support – Each student receives $126,800 pesos over five years of university. Mentoring – Our mentors help their students throughout their university studies. They often develop strong and enduring relationships. Mentors, both Mexican nationals and expatriates serve as combination coach, cheerleader, sounding board and advisor who may also help the student obtain needed services. Tutoring – Our volunteers actively provide English coaching.
    Like-skills workshops – These workshops cover topics ranging from resume writing and interviewing to nutrition and financial management. They help students develop skills critical to both personal and professional success. Counseling  –  Our team of professionals meet individually with students who are facing life challenges such as family crises, financial difficulties, and academic issues. The counselors enable students to overcome these challenges and successfully complete their academic programs. Computers – We work with partner organizations to assure that every student has a modern laptop computer.
