MIAMI, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to strengthen emotional leadership and career guidance among Hispanic youth, the Ismael Cala Foundation (ICF) has announced a strategic partnership with the International Federation of Professional Ontological Coaching (FICOP).

We are excited to strengthen our 'Flight of the Kite' program, ensuring that our trainers are even better equipped to guide young people in their personal and academic development."

For her part, Katiuska Echenagucia, vice president of FICOP, highlighted the importance of this collaboration: "Joining forces with the Ismael Cala Foundation is a wonderful opportunity to expand the scope of our mission. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of many young people, providing them with the tools they need to meet life's challenges with resilience and mindfulness."

The signing of the agreement will take place in a special ceremony at the Cala Center, located in Miami, where leaders of both organizations, along with other guests, will witness this important moment. This partnership not only reflects both organizations' ongoing commitment to youth education and well-being, but also marks a long-term commitment to continue working together on projects that foster a positive and lasting impact on the community.
