The Mission of Together with the Children

"Together with the Children's mission is to help street-involved and socially excluded children and their families to fully reintegrate into society. To achieve our mission, we spread awareness about socially excluded and street-involved children in Mexico, administer charitable funds to support an internationally recognized and highly successful project in Puebla, develop effective sharing of best practices between nonprofits, and solicit charitable gifts and donations from concerned citizens willing to help a project aimed at reintegrating socially excluded children and their families."

Together with the Children (TWC) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that seeks to achieve the lasting social reintegration of street-involved children and their families in Mexico and beyond. TWC is the U.S. office for the JUCONI Foundation (Junto con los Niños or Together with the Children), a Mexican organization that has been internationally recognized for its unique “educative-therapeutic” intervention that effectively combats the fundamental causes of street-involvement and social exclusion. Taking to the street, chronic poverty, and social marginalization are byproducts of intergenerational violence. JUCONI’s nearly two decades of experience and innovation have led to the ongoing development of effective, personalized methodologies that are corroborated by the positive results:

  80% of the 350 children and their families directly attended by JUCONI achieve social reintegration

  JUCONI now provides training both in Mexico and abroad to more than two dozen like-focused non-governmental organizations and governmental programs, indirectly benefiting thousands of children each year

In the U.S., TWC raises awareness of the core issues related to street involvement and social exclusion and promotes the JUCONI program in a variety of ways, among which are:

  Educational programs for children and youth that are geared toward promoting international mindfulness and participation

  Insight trips to visit the JUCONI program in Mexico that provide participants with a first-hand experience and a chance to interact with the children and families JUCONI attends

TWC in the U.S. promotes the guiding principles that have made the JUCONI program so successful:

  a personalized commitment to each and every child,

  a focus on quality over quantity,

  and the importance of taking into account the entire social eco-system of each child to permanently break negative cycles of family violence.
