My Nonprofit Reviews

I feel very privileged to have worked with Via International in the summer of 2018 through a fellowship the University of San Diego offered through the Tom and Karen Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness, and Social Action. I was able to live in Tijuana and work with Via International and Fundacion GAIA. In Tijuana, Via International or Los Niños de Baja California specialized in helping children and families in the Tijuana/Tecate area to live a sustainable life by creating opportunities for young people in the region. Part of what made this organization so impressive was how it was run by members of this community. All the strong women in the office were neighbors, friends, and family of people who received support from this organization. I was surprised to have met a mother and daughter both serving in Via International displaying the importance of family within the organization. An organization like Los Niños de Baja California and Via International have demonstrated their strong connection with the community they serve. Some of the projects they have been able to complete were improving parks and working on the garden on the Tijuana side of the US/Mexico border. Thank you Via International and Los Niños de Baja California for all the hard work and dedication you have to your community!
