Trust Ethics programs work with parents, children and the communities that surround them to promote a culture of lawfulness and combat the growing threat of crime and corruption across Latin America. Children and young people need the opportunity to make safe, healthy and responsible decisions as they mature. The community immediately surrounding them, their schools, parents and extended family, play a central role in shaping the way they will manage and make decisions in life.

Children’s Civic Education Program "Plan V"
This project, ongoing since 2003, actively promotes civic responsibility, ethics, tolerance, and negotiation skills among at risk youth and young children. The project involves a media campaign in conjunction with person-to-person workshops and after school activities that bring parents, teachers and children together in a safe environment where they can talk about real ways to combat corruption and crime in their communities. The program is supported by the Director of the Anti-Corruption Office of the Colombian government and in 2005 a substantial drug prevention component was added to the program.
