SISE CAB

Final Day Reminder 📢🚨
Tomorrow will be the final day of our BirthPaper Documentation Drive at the Conference Room, San Ignacio/Santa Elena Town Council.

On May 7th, 2026, the SCFM-CAB proudly stood alongside our partners for the official launch of the “From Identity to Industry” Project — an initiative created to help young people overcome barriers and access real opportunities for their future.

As a Child Advisory Body, we believe that young people deserve more than promises. They deserve support, guidance, opportunity, and systems that work for them. Through this project, youth will receive assistance in obtaining important documents such as birth certificates and social security registration, while also gaining access to mentorship, apprenticeship training, certification, and pathways into employment.

This project reflects the voices, concerns, and realities that young people continue to share with us every day. We are proud to play our part by advocating for youth, helping shape solutions, and ensuring that the needs of children and families remain at the center of community development.

We extend sincere appreciation to St. Ignatius High School for supporting the training component of this initiative, and to the Ministry of E-Governance for their assistance with the CRVS platform and guidance throughout Phase One.

We also thank the San Ignacio/Santa Elena Town Council for continuing to create space for youth voices and community action.

Special thanks are extended to the Government of Canada and LEAF Canada for funding the “From Identity to Industry” Project and believing in the potential of our young people.

This is more than a project.
It is a pathway from identity to opportunity, and we are honored to be part of that journey.

The From Identity to Industry project has two phases: Phase 1 – Document Support (150+ youths). We are helping over 150 young people get important documents like:
✔ Birth Certificate
✔ SSB ID
If your birth certificate is lost or damaged, we can guide you through the replacement process, and approved applicants will have their fees covered based on project guidelines and available funding. Our team will also be doing outreach in different areas across San Ignacio and Santa Elena to make the process easier and more accessible. Anyone below the age of 28 years old.
