Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Fundació Migra Studium: Catalan nonprofit providing legal and social accompaniment to migrants and refugees, directly comparable to AQZ's Projecte Ubuntu. Similar beneficiary profile, language context (Catalan/Spanish), and accompaniment methodology.
• Fundació Secretariat Gitano: Spanish foundation supporting the Roma community through educational accompaniment, employment, and social programs targeting children and youth. Comparable methodology (accompaniment-based support for vulnerable youth) and beneficiary profile to AQZ.
• Coordinadora de Mentoria Social: National coordinator for social mentorship in Spain that issues the Segell MC/MC+ quality certifications held by AQZ. While not a direct operator, it acts as both an umbrella and a peer network of social mentorship programs nationwide, with AQZ as a member organization.

Others

• Fundació La Caixa (Social Programs): Major Spanish foundation funding and operating social programs including youth employment, family support, and migrant integration. Functions as both a funder of AQZ (Social Innovation Prize 2021) and a comparable social-impact operator with broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• Fundació Pere Tarrés: Catalan nonprofit focused on youth education, leisure, and social action across Catalonia. Directly comparable as a regional social-services nonprofit serving children and youth in the same geography, though broader in scope than AQZ's mentorship focus.
• Fundació Catalana de l'Esplai: Catalan foundation operating educational and social programs for children and youth at risk of exclusion. Comparable in mission and region to AQZ, with broader program portfolio including after-school activities and digital inclusion.

Broad incumbents

• Save the Children España: Major international NGO serving vulnerable children and youth in Spain through education, protection, and advocacy programs. Comparable target population (at-risk children) but with national scale, institutional advocacy, and significantly larger budget than AQZ.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters International: Global nonprofit specializing in one-to-one youth mentoring, directly comparable to AQZ's Projecte Rossinyol methodology. Operates in many countries with mature mentor-matching infrastructure and quality standards that parallel the Segell MC+ system.
• Asociación Nuevo Futuro: Spanish association operating residential homes and autonomy programs for youth leaving care (extutelados), directly comparable to AQZ's Projecte Ambtu. Broader national footprint and longer history than AQZ, but similar mission of supporting emancipating youth.
• Aldeas Infantiles SOS España: Large Spanish nonprofit supporting children and youth in care or leaving care (similar to AQZ's Projecte Ambtu beneficiaries). Operates residential programs and family strengthening services nationwide, comparable mission but much larger scale and broader scope than AQZ.
