Primed Community

Founded in 2016, Primed Community is a non-governmental organisation based in Medellín, Colombia working on education, community development, employment & skills.

Corporación Primed, known as Primed Community, is a registered non-profit in Medellín, Colombia, working since 2016 to build bridges through language, culture and community. It offers community-embedded English education through its Storytellers formation programme, which trains local residents as bilingual tour guides, and runs community-led tours across comunas such as Comuna 13, Moravia, Santo Domingo and Manrique. Its volunteer programme places international volunteers with professional skills on community projects in areas including children, older adults, the environment, women's empowerment, disability support and English teaching. The organisation also develops social enterprises and sustainable tourism pilots, and is exploring expansion beyond Medellín. Its work is focused on people in vulnerable situations, and it reports on its impact through its evaluation framework.
