This program aims to train youth in skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, teamwork, social and cross-cultural interaction, communication, and leadership. It also hopes to revive a historic public space as a learning center. This will increase the social capital and civic pride of the citizens, as well as increase tourist visits to the town. Once a part of the steam engine railroad lines that connected the country of Paraguay, the train station is currently maintained by community efforts; their volunteer commission will be aided by the Partnership to create a reading room and art, literacy, leadership and self-esteem programming for youth.
