 Technical Vocational School Dr. Stephen Youngberg


With increased skills comes a better job, with better jobs comes a better standard of living, with an improved standards of living comes increased awareness of better ways to care for personal and family health issues.

In an effort to improve the lives of our community members we offer an oppotunity for young people to gain an education in the vocational arts, and to further their secondary education at the same time.

Our vocational school was built with funding from the United States of America through the United States Aid and International Development - USAID, and is part of the network of schools affiliated with the Human Resource Consulting Center of Honduras - CADERH.

The vocational school offers an opportunity to learn sewing, auto mechanics, wood working and ornate wood carving.
