After School Learning Centers
Many students in Guatemala come from families where there has been only limited education in previous generations. The after school learning centers supported by Avivara provide a safe and secure environment where students can receive help with their homework and study skills, access educational resources, and engage in other learning activities focused on the creative arts and critical thinking. For a closer look at the after school learning centers we currently support, please see our page on Avivara After School Learning Centers.

School-to-School Partnerships
Another important aspect of our mission is to create interconnectedness between the people of Guatemala and people in the United States. To help accomplish this we have established School-to-School Partnerships between schools in Guatemala and schools in the U.S. In this program, Avivara links its resources with schools in the United States who wish to develop an ongoing and collaborative partnership with
a school in Guatemala.
