Is it possible to do volunteer work in Mexico in the area of urban/community planning or sustainability?
I am planning on pursuing a graduate degree in Urban Planning once I graduate college. I am looking into opportunities for this summer, including doing volunteer work or even an internship-type experience in Mexico or any developing country. Is this possible and what would be the best way of going about finding a position like this? And most importantly, I’m on a miniscule budget.
I know that there have been programs like you’ve described.
First, check with the State Department and see if they are sponsoring and programs. If they are write your Congressman and both Senators and ask for their help. You’ll be suprised at how cooperative they will be.
If nothing exists there, look into the Peace Corp. And I’ve heard of another, Cross Cultural Solutions. They sponsor programs as well.
Good Luck
