Through his work he hopes to enhance the work of young people throughout Colombia and aims to instill a view, when drafting public policy, that young people are part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
Juan Carlos Reyes has years of experience in researching public policy solutions, with particular emphasis on young people. He has worked with national government on various issues relating to the evaluation of social policy projects for marginalized sectors, the organization of events for national and international audiences, and work with victims of violence by organized armed groups outside the law.
