León, Guanajuato, is a city known for its history, leather industry, and culture. It is the largest city in the state and is famous for producing footwear and leather goods. The city also features beautiful colonial architecture, nice local markets, and important festivals like the León International Balloon Festival. With a mix of modernity and tradition, León is a popular place for both tourists and locals.

Some recreational activities that can be done are:
1. Explore the Historic Center: Walk around the city center, visiting places like the Main Square, León Cathedral, and the Museum of Art and History.
2. Zona Piel: Visit this famous leather market, ideal for buying high-quality products such as shoes, bags, and accessories.

León, Guanajuato, faces the challenge of accelerated urbanization, which has significantly reduced green spaces and recreational areas that are essential for biodiversity and quality of life. However, this situation also presents an opportunity for young people to take an active role in building a more sustainable future. Through this volunteering project, we aim to empower youth with the tools and knowledge to care for the environment and demonstrate that their actions can have a positive impact.

The goal is to promote environmental education, create accessible spaces where young people can engage in ecological activities, and encourage collective action as a solution to protect our environment. Additionally, the project integrates Mexican traditions as a way to connect the community with nature, inviting participants to take part in cultural events and activities that strengthen their sense of belonging and commitment.
