With 2,000 volunteers, they go door to door in San Martín to ensure students return to school

A program in San Martín, Argentina, mobilized over 2,000 volunteers to visit homes and encourage students to return to school as part of the initiative 'Volvé a la Escuela.'

In San Martín, the 15th edition of the 'Volvé a la Escuela' program has seen a remarkable participation of over 2,000 volunteers who went door to door across various neighborhoods to ensure every child has the opportunity to return to school. This initiative is not just about education; it emphasizes a broader community spirit, ensuring that all voices are heard and no child is left behind. The program has become a hallmark of San Martín, reflecting the community's commitment to education and inclusion.

Mayor Fernando Moreira expressed great pride in the program's growth, noting that it has positively impacted over 20,000 residents who either resumed or completed their schooling. With the involvement of local institutions and organizations, the program embodies a collective effort to promote education and community solidarity. By engaging residents directly, the campaign fosters meaningful connections and encourages participation from families who may be hesitant about returning to school.

The outreach efforts included not only door-to-door visits but also fixed registration points in public areas such as train stations, shopping centers, plazas, and popular fairs. This comprehensive approach to enrollment aims to provide easier access to education for all community members, supplemented by an online registration campaign. Such initiatives underscore the commitment of the San Martín community to ensure educational opportunities are available to every student in the city.
