During 1998, Opportúnitas laid the groundwork for its national program that links the three sectors in an effort to position children and youth development as a national priority and to improve the conditions of Venezuelan young people. The program operates at national, regional and organizational levels and includes the promotion of social responsibility, design and implementation of the children and youth program, creation of a local fund(s) for children and youth development, and its own institutional development.

Its mission is to connect diverse sectors of the country to build up a shared strategy that strengthens and expands the better practices and programs that benefit children and youth.
