The Rio Grande Valley often looms large in today’s news. But beyond the headlines and politics lie vibrant communities requesting your help. The families we assist struggle with the necessities of life. Lend your hands and spirit to projects aimed toward improving their living conditions—through an exemplary program originally founded to assist migrant farm workers. In just one week, you can make a difference, form bonds with the people of this community, and learn first-hand the issues facing this multicultural community.

On a volunteer program in San Juan, Texas, you will have the opportunity to provide service at one or more of our community partner sites. Participants frequently provide help to refugees who have just arrived in the US by helping serve meals, organizing and handing out donations, providing childcare, and helping with paperwork at the respite center. Other service opportunities include projects at the local food bank, at a weekly soup kitchen, and on construction projects with our host organization. Additional projects may be included, as requested by the community.
