These young people require comprehensive support to build their life project, access educational and employment opportunities, and achieve full social integration.

We are a group of graduates from the Colombian State Protection System, united to improve the protection and restoration of rights for children, adolescents, and youth in the country. We appreciate the support received from the State, but recognize the need to evaluate and improve certain aspects of this system.

I want to donateSince 2019, together with political actors, we have promoted a bill to guarantee real conditions for young people leaving protection. In 2025, Law 2479 was approved, creating the Comprehensive Support Program for ICBF Graduates: strengthening the state offer and consolidating support networks for those leaving the care of ICBF.
