Youth in Honduras are facing numerous challenges including extreme poverty, natural disasters, gang violence, and political upheaval. The bleak outlook and lack of opportunities in Honduras have led to massive youth migration.<\/p>\n
Through their Youth Ready<\/em> program, World Vision has helped thousands of vulnerable youth across the globe discover their potential, plan for their future, and gain the skills, support, character, and confidence to succeed in work and life. In 2010, the World Bank launched an innovative online program called Evoke that promotes youth leadership through cohort-designed and implemented, community-based activities that focus on resolving global challenges such as literacy, water scarcity, human trafficking, and gang violence. This project integrates these two programs and implements them in Honduras. Our research and evaluation focus on refining the understanding of what drives youth character development and understanding how and to what extent Youth Ready-Evoke produces positive youth outcomes. Building in-country capacity to conduct high-quality research and evaluation is a key component of this project. Best practices and results from this project will be disseminated to enable scalability of youth character development programs around the world.<\/p>\n Related Links for Youth Ready:<\/p>\n
