Students aged 15-19 are selected by local committees to become designated Ambassadors. As Ambassadors they organize and facilitate \u2018learning circle\u2019 groups to help grade 4-6 students with their studies, and their lives. To help make this a success, each ambassador receives training, a tablet, and a small monthly scholarship to help them with their own studies and to provide them the tools they need to support their mentees. <\/span><\/p>\n

We also provide training to teachers and parents to help create community-wide buy-in to encourage youth to achieve their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

10x Impact: <\/b>Every ambassador supports approximately 10 mentees, creating a true ripple effect throughout the entire community.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Guatemala, less than 37% of students study past grade nine. Mayan girls face the greatest challenges of all. GG takes an innovative and holistic approach to empower the most marginalized students to become role models and mentors within their community to help inspire a whole generation of students to continue their studies and achieve their dreams.<\/span>
