General Project Description<\/strong>
AVANZA JOVEN is a project aimed at strengthening the employability, economic autonomy, and transformative leadership of young people through training and support processes that cross-cuttingly incorporate a gender, human rights, and violence prevention approach.
The project is implemented in the municipalities of La Paz and El Alto, prioritizing youth in situations of vulnerability. It seeks to improve their opportunities for socio-labor integration and active participation in community life by strengthening personal, social, and vocational capacities for autonomous and sustainable development.
