Mission
WE EXIST TO UNLOCK ACCESS TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR MARGINALIZED YOUTH IN CHIAPAS AND OAXACA THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATIONAL POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE ALL YOUTH IN EXTREME POVERTY HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION. IT IS A WORLD WHERE PROOF DRIVES POLICY: WHERE TRIAL-TESTED INNOVATIONS BECOME PUBLIC POLICY SOLUTIONS. THROUGH COORDINATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, NONPROFITS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, ALL YOUTH IN EXTREME POVERTY LEAVE SCHOOL WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THE WORLD, IMPROVING LIFE FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, RESULTING IN GREATER ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE, DELAY IN EARLY MARRIAGE AND CHILDBEARING, HEALTHIER CHILDREN AND GREATER GENDER EQUALITY IN THIS GENERATION AND THE NEXT.
Program accomplishments
- REACH SENDS NINTH-GRADE STUDENTS TO HIGH SCHOOL WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT GO. IN RURAL CHIAPAS, LESS THAN HALF OF MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATES CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION. REACH AIMS TO END THIS PROBLEM BY GIVING SMALL, WELL-TIMED SCHOLARSHIPS THAT HELP STUDENTS COVER THEIR HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAM FEES AND COSTS OF SUPPLIES AND UNIFORMS IN SMALL INSTALLMENTS EVERY SEMESTER THEY REMAIN IN SCHOOL.Expenses $1,031,539 · grants $903,667
- EMPRENDE. ESCALERA SEEKS TO IMPROVE LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION IN INNOVATIVE, COST-EFFECTIVE WAYS. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN CHIAPAS ARE SCARCE AND EVEN A GOOD EDUCATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE A JOB. INSTEAD, MANY STUDENTS WILL NEED TO CREATE THEIR OWN ENTERPRISES TO GENERATE INCOME. WE ARE USING A BEST-PRACTICE CURRICULUM FOR TEACHING THESE SKILLS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.Expenses $267,821 · grants $56,835
- SCHOOL BUILDING. ESCALERA BELIEVES THAT A SAFE AND DIGNIFIED SPACE IS ESSENTIAL FOR KIDS TO LEARN AND THRIVE. LAST YEAR, WE BUILT A SCHOOL IN THE VILLAGE OF NUEVO POBLADO NARANJA SECA, TENEJAPA, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE YOUNG LIVING FOUNDATION AND THEIR VOLUNTEERS.Expenses $38,959
