With our support, Youth Associations organise, set up or rent premises and facilities where they conduct activities that are aimed at the cultural, professional and personal development of young people and women workers.
These associations arise in response to the concerns of a group of parents, both for the leisure of their children, and as a result of the concern that they receive a complete education in values as people and citizens.
Associations we are currently collaborating with
Guadalba Cultural Association began work in April 2009 and has the strategy to support the family as the basic and indispensable base of society. Its main objective is complete education of the individual.
Guadalba realises different cultural and educational activities for young people, such as "directed study", Computing, English, music and above all a comprehensive programme of sports, leisure alternatives and recreational enrichment, as well as family activities such as conferences, "running the household", "literary café", excursions and competitions.
La Vereda Cultural Association began operations over 30 years ago and aims to assist the family in their children's education and training and development of study time and leisure for young people.

Educational Centres
One of our flagship projects within the Education Promotion of Women is undoubtedly Centro Educativo Fuenllana.
In 2003, Fundación del Valle took on the construction of this educational centre in the south of Madrid, more exactly in Alcorcón, in order to respond to the demand for education as a result of the area's population growth, its high school age population, inadequate educational initiatives and expanding industrial base.
Fuenllana Education Centre is a vocational training centre incorporated with Education Department of la Comunidad de Madrid, with over 30 years experience in teaching and with social interest declared in December 1975. It now has a complete educational offer: Nursery, Primary, secondary school and Vocational and Higher Education Training .
It is a comprehensive educational programme which helps to increase the rate of achievement and the education of families and young people who would not otherwise be able to access a school and vocational training. This has meant a non-profit project, funded through private donations from individuals and businesses.
Since 2009, this school has had its own Foundation, Fundación Fuenllana, which directly channels some of these partnerships.
We participate in the project 'Communicating Arts', which belongs to the program 'Youth in Action' of the European Commission
The program 'Youth in Action' has been promoted by the European Commission, the European Parliament and the member states of the European Union. Our project 'Communicating Arts', funded with €12,678 by the Injuve (Institute for Youth), is integrated into this initiative within the framework of European exchange programs.
The project has been developed in collaboration with 'Wonder' organization from UK, which promotes the women development and volunteerism. The objective of 'Communicating Arts' is to encourage young people to include art in volunteerism as a way of expression and social interaction. This is done by performing a variety of artistic activities, from painting and photography to theater, dance or written expression.
This project will promote exchanges between 30 young people from UK and 30 Spanish young people with the aim of promoting active citizenship and values of solidarity and tolerance.
