The organization provides health benefits, such as annual medical exam and care during illness. If a child needs more advanced health intervention, the organization assists in providing referrals to specialists. Beyond these critical needs, Children International provides nutritional support, dental care, counseling for children and families, school supplies and fees, clothing, and items for the home. It also engages youth through leadership development opportunities, scholarships, and financial and job-skills training. An example of youth programming is "Into Employment," where participating youth receive training in welding, electrical, refrigeration and industrial mechanics. Youth may also take courses on sales techniques, customer service, accounting, critical thinking and leadership. The international hotel chain InterContinental is one business working with the charity to provide job skills training for youth in Mexico. Children International has also worked with the Starwood Foundation to help youth prepare for jobs in the hospitality industry.
