Youth participants should be at least 16 years old.
Los Embajadores is...
- affordable: Los Embajadores is one of the most affordable international experiences offered to youth. Groups pay one program fee that covers in-country expenses. Travel and other costs are determined by the group.
- comprehensive: It's more than just a service trip - the five components of the program offer a holistic approach to building relationships between participants and the people of Mexico.
- life changing: "I recall clearly all the faces of the people we met in Mexico. They struck me in a way I will never forget-- they have so little, and yet so much. Most of all, they possess such a spirit of faith and generosity that I long to return again and again. I pray that they continue to experience the same happiness they expressed when I first met them, and I await the day when I may return to Mexico."
