Abstract

Under the wider project “Innovation for the Economic Inclusion of Marginalized Youth” the Colectiva Joven Project aimed to implement a scalable, evidence-based initiative to support economic inclusion of young people in vulnerable communities with problematic drug use. Concerning the findings of the project, the actions of neighborhood organizations contribute to providing alternative paths to violence and exclusion, based on the (re)generation of personal and community ties and the formation of personal and institutional networks. This report outlines activities and achievements. Pandemic circumstances led to a timeline extension of six months.
