?How do we leadteens to be creators
Hypothesis
Through an interaction with creative professionals,one can instill a sense of responsibility and long-termplanning to potential gang members in Honduras.
This in contrast to existing gang member remediation programs which focus primarily on overt vocational needs.
This interaction could help reach the teens’ longing for autonomy, mastery, and purpose to disruptpatterns of poverty in their communities.
