The Social Leadership program has been crafted by professionals and is grounded in years of community education experience. Combining traditional leadership training with introspective learning – participants develop self awareness and recognize how their personal beliefs and behaviors contribute to their leadership capacity. Participants will leave this program feeling energized, empowered and inspired to work towards social change.
Community service and service based learning are one of the most effective methods to build empathy, compassion, and commitment in our students and in our communities. Hands-on service based authentic learning opportunities abound naturally at Entreamigos and are part of the foundation and the fabric of all that we do. Opportunities for service learning are easily discovered in our library, technology center, gardens, eco-playground, recycling center and production workshops as well as in our partnerships with local public schools, community organizations and environmental groups. In San Pancho you can save the turtles, protect the jaguar, read books with kids and recycle anything into something new!
Living sustainably means that we never take more than we can give back but imagine what the world would look like if we always gave back more than we took? Sustainability is about how we choose to give and receive not only in our environment, but in our families and with ourselves. Students visiting Entreamigos are introduced to everyday actions that help build sustainable and even abundant futures. They learn about recycling and upcycling, about systems thinking and the ways that our everyday lives can be filled with choices that protect our environment and enrich our relationships and our communities.
Today, “leadership” is a catchphrase for all kinds of skills development programs. As a culture we tout the benefits of teaching leadership to our youth knowing that it will benefit their futures… But are we asking ourselves what futures we want for our youth and what kind of leaders we hope they become? Social Leadership strives not only to build leaders, but leaders who inspire us to care for our communities and the world.

Entreamigos is committed to helping every child through school. Children involved in the Scholarship program are held accountable for attending school regularly and getting good grades. Kids with greater challenges have access to all services and individual help to develop the skills necessary to succeed.
Sponsors of students will receive updates about their sponsored child and will be invited to attend Scholarship family events. Many donors request to meet the children that they sponsor and form special relationships with them. We assist in facilitating these meetings.
The Entreamigos Scholarship program began with one child in 2006. Today we have more than 90 children receiving full scholarships. Donor support is critical to this program.
