Youth education is seen as a pedagogical challenge, but even more so when it is necessary to overcome the difficulties faced by young people in rural mountain areas. Economic and geographic limitations leave their mark on school dropout rates, the lack of continued education, and the realization of life plans. The study of initiatives and programs in Latin American countries revealed the importance of the Cuban Pedagogues Association (APC)'s work; however, a methodological framework is lacking that would allow this organization to contribute to streamlining the socio-educational process. This idea, encouraged by the transformative projection in the management of local development projects and programs, led to the question: How can the APC contribute to the education of young people in rural mountain communities? The objective was defined: to propose a sequence of actions to be developed by the APC to contribute to the education of young people in rural mountain areas. From a methodological perspective, a research project was conducted based on the systematization of the experiences and practices of the Apeseños (people living in mountainous areas) in an emblematic rural community in Cumanayagua. The willingness and support of government authorities, grassroots organizations, and Apeseños (people living in mountainous areas) allowed for a deeper reflection and the presentation of a preliminary intervention proposal. This confirmed the mediating role and leadership of the APC, based on the intersectoral action that characterizes the activities and methods of its socio-educational intervention with young people.
