Volunteer

We hope you will consider volunteering with BCA to pursue our mission of bridging the border and creating community through education, cultural exchange, and social investment. Volunteering with BCA is a wonderful way to get to know BCA supporters and others who live in the borderlands and to find out more about what we do. We truly could not continue to exist without the efforts imparted by volunteers. Their accomplishments reflect kinship and community beyond borders. Volunteer positions are carefully managed so that no one is left with more than they can handle and what you do makes a difference.

Internship Program

The Borderlands Ambassador Internship Program seeks to give participants hands-on experience and broad exposure to the realities of border life. Interns will experience perspectives from both sides of the border—politically, culturally, socially, and environmentally. Living close to the border is more than textbook theory. It is like having one foot in Mexico, and the other in the United States. BCA partners with FESAC, a community foundation in Sonora, to offer this internship. Interns will have unique opportunities to dialogue with borderland writers, teachers, politicians, artists, migrants, social activists, environmentalists, and attorneys. And friendships are often forged for life!
