Community Service
The success of our social and cultural projects depends, to a large extent, on external and voluntary collaboration. For this reason, our institution is open to incorporating the support of students and volunteers in the Foundation’s various areas.
We currently offer social service programs in the areas of communications, design, administration, and archives.
