‘Guía Egreso’ (Leaving care Guidance) is the first group of adolescents and young people with care experience that acts as peer-support network and is an organized collective that promotes their rights.
They help other young people who, upon reaching the age of 18, must leave the institution where they live and make their way towards an independent life. Based on their own experiences, they provide support, information and guidance.
As a youth group, they are organized to defend all the rights of youth and especially to make visible how they live and what adolescents and young people without family care need. They also participate and influence different spaces so that there are better responses to their problems, through public policies and other measures and State interventions. They also raise-awareness through press and comms.
