These labs are educational spaces in which participants receive mentorship and guidance in how to form and advance their social projects. Additionally, as part of #EnAcción, we incubated social and community initiatives led by young people, such as Causa Local, FURIA, Sembrando Sentido, Sol es VIDA and ACUTAS. All of these projects received our support to develop stronger skills, structure and eventually spin off. 11475 0 0 Events- Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we managed to coordinate a 6-episode series through social media livestreams to educate regarding the COVID-19 quarantine, and topics such as public health, autism, waste generation, college student challenges, gender violence, and the University of Puerto Rico.

We obtain new significant in-kind support from the Americorps VISTA program to ensure all participants are paid for their work. Second, we expanded #EnAcción as a leadership incubator which supports the undertaking of our participants' social and civic projects. We adopted young leaders' projects to support their work. As a part of this, we added the CAC Accelerator, which supports young leaders' projects and community projects which are still in their early stages of formation to strengthen their structure, grant making and obtain funding to grow. All projects that we support enter the #EnAcción lab first, to ensure alignment with our mission and values.
