Gap Years & Volunteering in Mexico

Gap Years & Volunteering in Mexico

Viva Mexico! Mexico is a land of almost 100 million people of whom two thirds are under the age of 30. The beautiful beaches of the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean border spectacular mountain ranges.

Diversity and colour are everywhere - with world famous Mayan Pyramids and stunning colonial architecture, from centuries of Spanish rule, to the modern buildings of 21^st century Mexico. Aztec art mixes with the contemporary whilst poor, traditional, rural communities exist alongside the super rich.

Gap year teaching in Mexico

You will live in a house with 4-6 other AVs, amongst relatively poor Mazuan Mexican communities, in traditional villages such as Santa Maria, San Francisco and Amanalca, some 100 kilometres west of Mexico City. Villages are centred round a small square and church and have a few local shops. You will teach colloquial English in both primary and secondary schools. You will enjoy a truly cultural experience and improve your Spanish too!

5-Week Short Venture in the Mexican Rainforest

In a group of up to sixteen 18-25 year-olds, you will volunteer in villages within the tropical biosphere rainforest in the Tuxtlas area of the Vera Cruz region. Living in one of the rural villages will enable you to enjoy and get to know the generous and cheerful people of the area. Work will include renovating schools or medical centres, and repairing or creating eco routes through one of the few remaining tropical rainforests in Mexico.
