Each year, GOCARE brings over 104 youth together for a special leadership training camp. GOCARE runs an extensive 3-day camp in the mountains to teach youth important leadership skills. This project is conducted with the assistance of the local Rotary Clubs who provide instructors.

Most of the attendees are from the poorest barrios and some are special invitees of the Rotary Clubs. In addition, there are 26 counselors who are previous graduates of the program that “Come Back to Give Back” and teach others strong leadership skills such as teamwork, public speaking and ethics. The program is based on the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) model.
