MEET THE CP

Coral Z.

Tucson, AZ

About Me: Hi I'm Coral and I graduated from Elon University in North Carolina in 2009. I majored in International Studies and Latin American Studies. I was able to study abroad 3 times but by far the largest influence in my life was the semester I spent in Costa Rica. I was able to attend the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative university conference my junior year of college and I made a commitment to help improve access to education in Latin America and that's why connecting with Citizen Effect was the perfect way for me to work on my goals. In my free time I love photography, Latin Ballroom dancing, reading and scrapbooking. I recently moved to Tucson,AZ and am continuing my education work here working on projects helping Title I schools with their after school tutoring programs. I was also recently accepted into my graduate program to start very soon on my M.Ed. Last year I sold my photography from Latin America to support my first CP project in Ica City, Peru. I hope to continue this for the 2010 holiday season. Updates will soon be available for the photography as well. Thank you for your continued support of my CP projects, and I look forward with your help to continue impacting the lives of youth around Latin America!

Young people growing up in Latin American and the Caribbean’s vulnerable communities face numerous challenges when trying to enter the formal workplace. Youth unemployment is a serious problem in these countries, particularly among those who are burdened with caring for children or other family members, face workplace discrimination or lack basic job training. The A Ganar (Spanish for "to win") program seeks to improve the opportunities available to young people in Latin America and the Caribbean through an innovative combination of life skills coaching, vocational training and team sports such as soccer. This cutting-edge approach empowers youth between 16-24 to learn entrepreneurial trades, find jobs or reenter the formal education system. Targeting youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are highly motivated to learn and get a job, have an interest in sports, and demonstrate potential to be positive leaders in their community, the program combats youth unemployment through the integrated job training program in which young people transform lessons and intellectual skills, developed through sports, into marketable job skills. Donate to Coral's A Ganar project, and provide at-risk youth the opportunity to use soccer and team sports to develop marketable job skills.
