Integración Juvenil, a non-governmental institution, operating in Puerto Plata, by and for native Dominicans, has been the primary organization through which GRAÇIAS has channelled its contributions.
Integración Juvenil was founded in 1978 for the purpose of keeping children off the streets by providing and caring for them, while teaching employment skills to achieve self-sufficiency in society.  Currently more than 200 girls and boys, ages 9 to 18 attend each day at their Technical/Vocational Educational Centre.
