Mexico / United States Border 2010

This program will allow students the opportunity to explore the border issues that exist in two sister cities. Students will observe firsthand the cultures, clashing and coalescing as they will live in Mexico or a US border state. The applicant should have some familiarity with Spanish.

Last year, students travelled to El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Internships included helping in community organizing for Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, working with various immigrant issues at the Annunciation House or creating a women empowerment camp.
