We at ACCAI
Together we are building the future of our youth. We provide the youth the basic means they need in order to pursue a career once they graduate from High School to ensure their economic independence and create their own opportunities in a near future.
Our Different Programs

Math Program
According to experience, it is known that the subject of mathematics generates difficulties in a fairly high percentage of high school students. High schoolers in Brasilito, and in some other areas of Guanacaste are in disadvantage compared to other High schoolers of the country because of their poor understanding of basics. Given the above we intend to offer a specific program that reinforces this subject and that students can feel free and confident to expose and clarify all their doubts in order to achieve their academic success.
By Understanding and practicing math they develop analytical thinking that refers to the ability to think critically about the world around us. Reasoning is our ability to think logically about a situation. Analytical and reasoning skills are important because they help us solve problems and look for solutions.
We, at ACCAI believe that Math can help them succeed professionally, emotionally and cognitively.
We are starting in Brasilito but as we grow we would like to bring our program to other communities.

English Program
This program is created so that our Youth could interact with native English Speakers, and to have the opportunity to practice their language skills in a fun an friendly environment. ACCAI with he help of our sponsors provide a Grammar and an Activity book for each student and all classes are previously designed by our teachers so that they are held in a fun and interactive way. We are aware that having a good command of English helps us to have more opportunities in life. Being aware of this, our mission is to provide these kids English as a second language in order to acquire the language skills that will benefit them in their future professional life.
We are starting in Brasilito but as we grow we would like to bring our program to other communities.

Pickleball
Young people require moments of relaxation and fun, spaces to share among peers, which is why within the program for them we have thought of sports. Youth receive pickleball from a group of generous community volunteers.
We are aware of the physical benefits practicing a sport brings but also health benefits:
-
improves balance, hand-eye coordination and flexibility.
-
Improves heart health.
-
Boosts mood and mental health. ...
-
Social connections, among many others!
We are looking to hire a person that can run the class if volunteers can't make it and assist them when they do.

Guidance & Mentoring
In this matter we take very seriously everything related to support for the emotional and psychological stability of our students. We have an alliance with other organizations that we can count on to look after their well being in general. We have partnered with the Teen Smart International, which is an organization specialized in training and counseling for young people throughout Latin America with which we will be working directly to support and support the young people in our program.
We also receive the contribution of different actors in the community, who manage knowledge and experience, in different topics, important to nurture the program, and the social, emotional, and health development of young people.
We offer, with the strategic alliance with other organizations:
● Consulting
● Support in psychology
● Educational and informative workshops
● A free well-being and personal
growth platform for adolescents from 10 to 24 years of age. These services are confidential, free and supported by professionals.

Feeding program
Every Saturday we provide the Youth attending our program and our teachers and volunteers snacks and lunch. It comes down to about 30 meals and snacks each time we meet. We have been able to do it thanks to generous people that support this program but we need much more. That is why we are always looking for people who either donate for this program or would like to cook for us, or sometimes they know someone from the community that cooks and that way they help in two different ways.
Please contact us here if this where you would like to get involved.
