.home.For information about ATRAVES while this site is under ATRAVES is a Nicaraguan nonprofit association working to support creative, small-scale, locally controlled initiatives in development, education, health and social justice. We do this by linking these initiatives to resources they could not otherwise access; by placing, coordinating and educating international volunteers and delegations; by creating and maintaining an international network of people in solidarity with Nicaragua and its poor communities; and by mobilizing this network to become a powerful support system. We offer a profound volunteer experience that is unique for each individual. We have shown that the ATRAVES model is highly effective in Nicaragua. ATRAVES partners with ATRAVES U.S., Inc., whose mission is to promote international understanding and cooperation, particularly among oppressed or disadvantaged people. The partnership facilitates volunteer and educational opportunities, as well as the financial sustainability of ATRAVES and the projects it supports. |
