#375 Great.com Talks With... Cooperative for Education
4 out of 5 indigenous Guatemalans live in poverty, while 33% of adults cannot read. Despite the relatively low number of high school students, very few students finish college. Guatemala is in a serious educational crisis and needs to break the cycle of poverty. The best way to do that is by educating Guatemalans. In today's episode, we talked with Emily Paver, Marketing & Outreach Manager at Cooperative for Education.
Cooperative for Education is one of many nonprofit organizations that provides cooperative education to Guatemalans. Thanks to their youth development programs, they have seen a rise in professional development in Guatemalan youths.
The way the organization helps the education aspect in Guatemala is through cooperative education programs, community service and involvement, providing sustainable resources, and more.
