Shoulder to Shoulder is deeply committed to improving the opportunity for education and providing hope for over 17,000 children in Southern Intibucá, Honduras. We believe that these children WILL succeed if they are given the opportunities they deserve.

Our mission is to provide techniques, content and resources to help Honduran educational leaders reach their educational goals. With three principle initiatives:

  1. Get more children into schools and keep them until they graduate high school
  2. Create more English language education to support the Honduran government mandate on English language instruction and to increase opportunities for employment
  3. Improve the access and quality of educational resources, especially for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
