Mexicali, Mexico
Mexicali, two hours east of Tijuana, is is desert city just south of the US town of Calexico,California. Mexicali is the home of a thriving beehive cooperative created by local women promotoras to support self-sufficiency for their families. Groups visiting Mexicali visit the bee cooperative, contribute to the efforts of micro-credit-financed enterprises, work in area schools creating green spaces for play and recreation, and work at a local cactus farm.

Tijuana, Mexico
While events in the past year have made traveling to Tijuana more intimidating than in the past, we have resumed our long-standing and successful service learning program in Tijuana. Groups traveling to Tijuana work in local schools with students, parents, and teachers, visit with migrants at a local shelter, and explore the trans-border culture of Tijuana through a variety of immersion activities.
"The Mexican people we worked with were so generous, loving, and graciously let us into their lives. I left feeling like each individual had left a mark on me.
We all became very close and we all encouraged each other to grow,
think, and do our best." Voluntourist
