Nicodemus began in 2012 with a commitment to supporting young people in Guatemala moving out of residential care and street youth leaving behind a life on the streets. Following starting up a Youth Mentoring Program, currently supporting 120 young people, our reach has grown through the training and equipping of churches and organisations to raise Youth Mentoring Programmes in the UK, Latin America and The Caribbean, South Africa and India. In 2012 when encountering a group of young people aged 18+ struggling after leaving their residential protection home for children in Guatemala, this group of young people were heading towards returning to living a street lifestyle and going back to sleeping on the streets – where they had previously been rescued from before going into childcare. In response to this, Nicodemus started a Youth Mentoring Program for these young people. Our Youth Mentoring Program exists to support these young people to achieve a healthy transition into young adulthood and independent living. This ongoing experience now equips volunteers and staff to mentor in 400 organisations in the UK and 1,300 organisation in Latin America across 13 countries.
