If you are a second, third, and even fourth-generation Mexican college student and would like to travel to Mexico this summer, the San Diego Mexican consulate invites you to participate in a cultural immersion experience.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is calling on students of Mexican origin ages 21 to 30 at universities and community colleges in the U.S. and Canada to enroll in the "Cultural Immersion and Volunteer Program for Young Students of Mexican Origin" (PICV) that will take place in Mexico this summer.
According to the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, the program aims to provide a cultural immersion experience in Mexico that allows young people of Mexican origin to strengthen their ties with the country and foster cultural ties, as well as facilitate a volunteer job opportunity in support of communities, with emphasis on the regions of origin of Mexican migrants.
