Our drive to fight against social injustices began during the fall of 2003 with the commitment, love and passion of four students from the University of Florida - Angelica Suarez, Luis Felipe Garcia, Oscar Trujillo, and Liliana Bustamante - who felt moved to give back to their homeland, Colombia. Their desire to cultivate a world of Peace, Justice, and Equal Opportunity led to the foundation of CBOB and developed the core values of the organization.
​
With support from people around the globe, it's motivated us to expand our mission beyond Colombia and yield a greater commitment to the children we serve and our supporters.

Our mission is to work to eliminate barriers to education and provide a foundation for quality of life improvements for vulnerable children at home and in Latin America by providing:
​ 
 -Academic support and mentoring support through workshops, tutoring services and college prep for all children through grades K-12.
  - Monthly Health Clinics and Health Fairs that aim to mitigate health-related needs of vulnerable children and their families.
  - Funding scholarships for college students in     Colombia and guiding them with implementation   of a service project in their community.

At Children Beyond Our Borders, Inc. we are committed to celebrating diversity of every kind, in the children we serve and the people within our ranks who serve them. Every child, student, intern and member has the right to inclusion, belonging and respect. We aim to create an environment in which all members of the CBOB community feel empowered to be their true authentic selves. 

At Children Beyond Our Borders, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a nonprofit organization or a mission statement. We are a family – a family of believers, motivators and relationship-builders. We want for you to become a part of this family as you are the future champions of our mission. Add yourself to our family.
