Sponsorship

Please contact us if you might be interested in sponsoring a young man’s studies. Contributions can be made monthly, annually or on a one-time basis

Employment Opportunities

It is a requirement that our students hold part-time jobs.  They pay their own bus fares and incidental school expenses and therefore have “skin in the game”. They learn responsibility and money management.  If you own a business in Mazatlán and can provide weekend or part-time jobs for our young people you will find them to be conscientious, hard-working and reliable.  

Cash donations to cover some operating costs

We would be most grateful if anyone would be interested in contributing towards some of the day-to-day expenses, such as:

*Monthly electricity, water, or propane bills

*Sponsor the cost of a staff member

*Assistance with medical expenses

*Gasoline
