A PATH TOWARDS HOPE
To fulfill our mission, Casa Juan Pablo II offers a variety of prevention and rehabilitation programs. Each one is designed to positively impact children, youth, and adults in vulnerable communities. Our commitment is clear: to help them find a path, restore their lives, and discover a new purpose.
OUR PROGRAMS
ACORDES
Acordes is a music education program that includes both singing and instrumental instruction. Through music education, this program helps young people regain a sense of self-worth, purpose, and a desire to look toward a bright future.
"I believe that the training they receive in the fine arts is so that in the future they can be excellent citizens."
Kelvin Bosques Barreto, Acordes Instrumental Music Teacher
"This project creates opportunities in communities that often don't have access to free music schools that offer singing and instrument classes. I'm also from a small town where, during my school years, I didn't have that opportunity either. Part of my responsibility is to do my part to help other children and young people achieve their dreams, just as I was able to achieve mine at one point in my life."
Roberto Lema Rodríguez, Acordes instrumental music teacher
EXTIENDE TU MANO
Extiende tu Mano is a psychosocial health clinic that provides services to patients of different ages with the goal of helping or rehabilitating the individual. It addresses the mental health of children and young people in the community who are struggling with personal, family, or social problems.
"Reaching a person is the most beautiful feeling you can have. It's not about the money, but about making a contribution to someone's life."
Dr. Robernie Rivera, phycologist at Casa Juan Pablo II
CARAS DE ROSARIO
At Casa Juan Pablo II, we turn young people between the ages of 15 and 25 who may be at risk of facing emotional or social problems into community leaders. This experience exposes them to activities that fill them with purpose, a sense of responsibility, and motivation. It also teaches lifelong skills like good communication, leadership, teamwork, and discipline. In addition, it promotes interaction and connection with nature and the community’s cultural heritage.
HOPE
‘Hope’ or ‘Esperanza’ is a sub-program of ‘Extiende tu Mano’ with the mission of visiting communities, professional groups, and businesses to offer counseling services and talks for value-strengthening or professional development. In this way, we seek to extend the psychological help and professional counseling services of ‘Extiende tu Mano’ to other populations who, due to their lifestyle, find it difficult to come to us.
"The greatest blessing is the people who come looking for that help. That's what expands our hearts and makes us feel that our mission is reaching the hearts of many."
Father Javier Aquino Florenciani, founder and executive president of Casa Juan Pablo II
