Volunteer with Us

Our Board is entirely composed of volunteers. Indeed, the reason why BCA exists is directly due to the positive work volunteers accomplish everyday in this world. 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.

Volunteers are asked to fill out the application below. Our staff will reach out to you to schedule an interview.

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!
