Operating in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, young club leaders teach their friends and peers through interactive activities, including games and kiosks at public events, education sessions at schools and universities, an online web community and popular radio programs. Guatemala’s radio program alone reaches more than 65,000 listeners, generating more than 100 contacts per show.
