A Place That Brings

More Than Hope

Here For Our Youth In All Spaces

Niños de Nueva Esperanza’s (NNE) goal is to break the cycle of social deterioration in Sabana Seca while enhancing the existing strengths of the community.

We encourage our participants to strive towards accomplishing their goals by introducing them to new areas of interest and increasing their confidence in new subjects.

We have been working with the surrounding community for almost 24 years by providing academic support, psychological therapies, evaluations, and sociocultural workshops for adolescent participants and their families.

What Our Community is Saying

Keishla Santana

Social Worker

“I started as an intern in 2015 as a social worker and then I finished my master's degree and they called me to see if I wanted to be part of the family of Niños de Nueva Esperanza, and I’ve been here ever since.”

“The reality is that Niños de Nueva Esperanza is like my second family.”

Alex Foresti

Instructor of Photography and Former Participant

“Well, what can I say, the program for me has been another home, if I had to leave for another place, I would not leave here. I would stay here until God willing.”

Sebastian Quiñones

Participant

Sebastian, an 8 year old participant has been coming to the center for four years now and states, “Well my favorite activity here is art. I like painting, although my favorite is drawing and coloring.”
