Alumni GO! Mexico allows graduates an opportunity to take part in a service immersion project in Puebla, Mexico. Our team will partner with local community organizations for a variety of projects to support and learn about the local community.
In addition, team members will get the chance to shop in local markets, visit the great Cholula Pyramid, and more—all with the guidance and support of our community partners.
