We strive to tailor our program to best meet the needs of the youth in our community. Our program initiatives have greatly evolved over the years and no one program is of more importance than another. The current initiatives the following.

Junior Adventures:

This is an after school program for children aged 6 to 12. The purpose of the after school program is to provide a safe environment in which we can promote, support, and enhance all areas of a child's learning and development.

We provide a balance of prevention, educational, social and recreational opportunities in fun and playful ways. Membership consists of 30 registered children per week, who attend Monday to Friday from September to the end of June. We also operate a full day camp called Golden Fridays; this runs on the no school days and is patented after our Junior Adventures program.

We are an association of over 20 clubs located in 12 communities' service locations across Dominican Republic. The program helps sporting clubs manage alcohol responsibility and reduce alcohol related problems such as binge and underage drinking. It confirms that the club promotes a responsible attitude towards alcohol and that it provides a safe environment for players, members, families and supporters. The members of the sports programs learn to respect their bodies not abuse them. Evidence is growing which demonstrates that community-based sports program of Center Guanin contributes to the awareness and preventive solutions to alcohol problems and drugs program by not accepting and not promoting excessive drinking and providing appropriate role models for young people.
