Nicodemus began in 2012 with a commitment to supporting young people in Guatemala moving out of residential care and street youth leaving behind a life on the streets. Following starting up a Youth Mentoring Programme, currently supporting 120 young people, our reach has grown through the training and accompanying of Youth Mentoring Programmes throughout the UK and Latin America.

In 2012 when encountering a group of young people struggling after leaving their residential protection home for children in Guatemala, this group of young people were heading towards returning to living a street lifestyle and going back to sleeping on the streets – where they had previously been rescued from before going into childcare. Nicodemus heard the call to start a Youth Mentoring Programme for these young people. Our Youth Mentoring Programme exists to support these young people to achieve a healthy transition into young adulthood and independent living.
