Why Honduras?
Youth in Honduras face a multitude of challenges which significantly impact their day-to-day lives and long-term prospects. Some of the key issues include:
Ministry Locations
El Carmen
El Carmen Juvenile Correctional Center is located in San Pedro Sula. The center is divided into two main sections; one with more open air space and freedom for the youth, and the other with higher security measures. Two teachers from Counteract lead Success Academy classes in the centers.
New Jalteva
New Jalteva is a maximum security correctional center for boys that opened in 2021. Two teachers from Counteract lead Success Academy classes in the center's eight housing units.
Old Jalteva
Old Jalteva correctional center is a minimum security facility for boys in a rural setting about 50 miles from the capital city of Tegucigalpa. The center opened in 1954 as a place to provide outdoor space for youth to participate in agriculture, trades, and sports. Two teachers from Counteract lead Success Academy classes in the centers.
Sacred Heart
Sagrado Corazon (Sacred Heart) is the only correctional center for girls in the country. It has operated at its current location in the center of Tegucigalpa since 2014. Two teachers from Counteract provide Success Academy classes and entrepreneurship courses inside the center.
