Overview

The Mexican American Studies program from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley prepares students to be leaders and advocates in their communities and professions to transform their conditions and promote a just society.

Key Features

This is an experiential learning opportunity for Mexican American Studies majors. It provides students committed to social justice in the Mexican American communities the opportunity to get hands on experience while reflecting on that experience critically through the lens of Chicano Studies.

Students will partner with a public, community-based and/or non-profit organization committed to social justice for the Mexican American and Latino communities in addressing significant community needs. The students' participation will be driven by the needs of the community.
