Why JA Peers?
Recent Context
Graduates have fresh memories of their university experiences. This allows them to share practical and relevant advice.
Trust through closeness
The closeness of experiences and stages of life facilitates more open, semi-formal, and honest communication.
An achievable model
JA Peers is a real example that the transition from university to professional life is possible and manageable.
⚠️ Important
JA Peers does not replace mentoring.
It is a flexible and close, human support system, designed to adapt to the real schedules of students and graduates.

“Jóvenes Adelante was an essential support throughout my college years, not only financially but also on a personal level.
The workshops and the people who guided me were a source of comfort during moments of doubt, challenge, and fear. Thanks to that opportunity, I grew both professionally and personally and learned to be more aware of and responsible for myself.
That’s why I wanted to give back a small part of all that I received and become part of the support network that sustained me and continues to support me today.”

“I have always believed that education opens many doors, especially for young people with fewer opportunities. Jóvenes Adelante gave me that great opportunity, one I will always be grateful for, and that’s why I now feel it’s my turn to give back.
I want to support students who are going through a journey I have already lived, because I know how valuable it is to have someone who motivates and supports you.
I would tell them not to stress so much and to enjoy every stage, because it’s not just about earning a degree, but about transforming yourself and learning to give back in order to build a better world.”

“I have always enjoyed encouraging and supporting others. Being part of a program with a smaller age gap between graduates and students creates a different kind of trust and offers a more realistic perspective on the challenges faced at each stage of a career.
As the youngest in my family, I learned how valuable it is to receive advice from those who have walked the path before you. I would tell students that challenges always help us grow—anything worthwhile requires effort and sacrifice.
When the journey becomes difficult, move forward with patience and faith, one step at a time, without losing sight of the goal of completing your university studies.”
