The COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges for IYF’s program teams, but also the opportunity for learning and innovation. A good example of this can be seen in our Jóvenes con Entrega program, funded by FedEx, which prepares Mexican high school students for careers in logistics.
In the midst of the pandemic, this team learned to develop a series of responses to support schools as they shifted—literally overnight—to remote learning for students and teachers. Here are three steps we’ve taken to keep our students on a path to long-term career opportunities and success—even in this time of crisis, change, and uncertainty.
