Fighting for Their Futures
The fight for the future of incarcerated youth is not an easy one.
Not only do these youth have to be courageous enough to confront their pasts — they also must have the tenacity to redefine their futures amidst extreme adversity.
Teachers at Counteract are committed to coming right alongside these youth, pushing forward with them, arm-in-arm, as they take on these challenges. We are here for their struggle. We’re here to see their dreams reimagined and their hopes fulfilled. We are here for the chance to see these precious lives redeemed.
We stand beside those youth in their darkest moments and watch as they become a beacon for the bright future of their community; the first generation to break these cycles of poverty and crime for themselves, their families, their neighborhoods and their nations.
100% Sent In-Country
When you give to our Teacher Sponsorship fund, you partner with us to make sure incarcerated youth have a caring Christian adult to teach, mentor, and guide them.
With your support, the teachers of Counteract walk alongside these youth to give them the educational training, emotional healing, and spiritual hope they so desperately need.
The teachers of Counteract are paid entirely by your generous donations. 100% of your gifts to the Teacher Sponsorship Fund go directly to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to support our teachers in the juvenile correctional centers.
Behind Bars Everyday
The Counteract team meets youth in their most desperate moments, going behind the bars of some of the toughest juvenile prisons to stand by their side as they fight for their futures. We are here each day to ensure that incarcerated and released youth have the opportunity to redefine the trajectory of their lives.
Through consistent mentorship, life and job skills training, and biblical guidance, we equip youth to build positive identities and hope-filled futures.
