Welcome to Peace Corps Mexico. Life is calling. How far will you go? Peace Corps Volunteers and Peace Corps Response Volunteers from the U.S.A. The U.S.

Since 2004 Peace Corps Mexico has been engaged with Mexican institutions and communities in the spirit of international cooperation that is both technical and cultural in nature. We work closely with our hosts and strategic partners, including the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID), the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), and the Ministry of Pu

blic Education (SEP), to design programs that address some of Mexico’s national priorities. are then recruited, trained, vetted, and ultimately assigned to Mexican host-communities and host-institutions to carry-out activities that contribute to the aforementioned national priorities as well as local priorities. Volunteers are also expected to adapt and integrate into Mexican society and culture while actively sharing their own identity, culture, and unique perspectives. More than 500 Volunteers have served in Mexico, collaborating in the areas of economic development, education, and the environment. Government's premier international volunteering agency, the Peace Corps sends passionate and skilled Americans abroad to collaborate on projects that advance both American and host country priorities. This year, the agency commemorates 65 years of promoting world peace and friendship through Volunteer service while partnering with America250 to encourage more Americans to give back. Since 1961, the Peace Corps has played a vital role in advancing U.S. global engagement through the work of close to 250,000 Volunteers serving in 144 host countries.

Peace Corps Mexico 24 Volunteers is getting ready to wrap up their service! 🇲🇽

This past week, the group came together for their Close of Service (COS) Conference to prepare for the final months of their service at site. As they reflect on the past two years in Mexico, we asked a few of our Volunteers to share what they are most proud of from their time here.

Miryam is Peace Corps Volunteer in the Environmental Action and Awareness Program in central Mexico. She is helping young students grow more than just a garden, she’s helping cultivate environmental stewardship.

After receiving support through the Peace Corps Partnership Program, Miryam launched a seasonal garden with fifth and sixth graders at her community’s elementary school. Together, they planted cilantro, marigolds, and radishes while learning about companion planting, pollinators, soil conservation, and the nutrient cycle.

Throughout the summer, Miryam has cared for the garden by watering and weeding, and the marigolds are now nearly a foot tall. With a little more time, they’ll be ready to harvest just in time for Día de los Mu***os this October.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone whose generosity made this project possible. Your support is creating meaningful, hands-on environmental education for the next generation

Environmental Volunteer, Ruthie, partnered with local producer (Don Guillermo) and an Engineer (Leo Barro) from the Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural to organize and lead a hands-on workshop for local producers in her community. Together, they demonstrated how to make an organic insecticide and fungicide using accessible, low-cost ingredients, giving participants another tool to protect their crops while reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.

Workshops like this bring together local knowledge, technical expertise, and community collaboration to support more sustainable agriculture. 🌱🇲🇽💚

¡Bienvenid@s PCR-21! Last week, our newest group of Response Volunteers (PCRVs) arrived in México for their orientation. 🇲🇽

After three weeks of training focused on language acquisition, cultural adaptation, safety and security, health and wellness, and programmatic preparation, the five new PCRVs will take their oath of service and head off to four different states around the country. For the next year, they’ll be collaborating with university counterparts on projects related to English, STEM, or competency-based curriculum and education. 📚

Peace Corps Partnership Program (PCPP) Project Update: Cleaner Cooking & Youth-Led Food Production ✨

Thanks to everyone who generously supported one or more of the five PCPP grant projects we posted about in June. These next few weeks, we’ll be sharing updates about the (now fully funded!) initiatives and their progress. 🌱

Environment Volunteer Brian’s community is making great progress on its cleaner cooking and youth-led food production initiative. Brian and his high school students completed a raised bed vegetable garden, set up the school’s worm composting system, and finished the improved oven. 🪱

This project is just missing a few finishing touches — construction of a roof for the oven; completion of welding the garden hoop structure (paused due to the rainy season); and making a cover for the school worm composting bed, which the students immediately decorated like a tomb.🌧️

In addition to Brian’s progress with the students at the high school, he and his community built one of the six household improved ovens and have nearly completed the welding work on the other five barrels. 🪏

Step by step, the community is strengthening its environmental resilience and enhancing its sustainable food production. ♻️

We’ll keep you posted about Brian’s blossoming collaboration, and next week we’ll share some updates about the Environmental Community Center project in Rowan’s community. ➡️
