Background

About Adolfo Y.

I believe education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty. Since 2022, I have led Niños de Guatemala, a nonprofit that provides holistic, bilingual education to over 530 children from low-income communities. Our model goes beyond academics: it includes mental health support, nutrition, emotional development, critical thinking, and leadership. I have over 15 years of experience in education. I founded a math academy, led a therapeutic school for neurodivergent students, and served on school boards and education associations. I combine strategic planning with a strong field presence. I care deeply about both sustainability and the real, measurable impact in each student’s life. My work is guided by core values: justice, clarity, collaboration, and a focus on meaningful results. Always open to connect with others who believe that every child deserves an education that changes lives.
