Hey, there are a lot of centers like these in Argentina. Apparently, there is at least one in every provinces, and there are 24 provinces in the country. That means many young people are being given the possibility of practise sports and enjoy recreational activities that also help them socialize. Like this, there are many companies that are socially involved with youth problems and other society issues so they contribute to different causes. For instance, the company I hired for the rent of apartments in buenos aires donates part of the profits to a community center that gives food to the poor!
