Counselors

The What Really Matters Foundation has a team of counselors and consultants who altruistically collaborate with our institution sharing their experience and know-how.

The Consulting Council is divided in four groups:

Firstly a YOUTH COUNCIL, as their opinions and evaluation are fundamental to us, since they are the main beneficiaries of our activities.

The INNOVATION COUNCIL studies pioneering action lines to help us develop tools that will allow us to be up-to-date with the new technologies.

There are people who, in a private manner, have helped the Foundation from the beginning, fostering its expansion to other cities and nations. They compose the EXPANSION COUNCIL.

Moreover, we have the support of a series of companies and entrepreneurs with whom we share the same values, and who wish to commit by sharing their support and involvement and forming the COUNSELLING ASSOCIATES group.
