30 Years of Building Community

Corazón. In Spanish, heart.

It’s a heartfelt name for a non-profit, almost entirely volunteer organization that has offered shelter, education and community to thousands of our neighbors in northern Baja California for more than 25 years.

familia. Family.

familia is the philosophy behind Corazón’s work. People in need do not receive handouts; rather, they participate in programs of assistance that allow people to help themselves. In the process, they help their neighbors and their community to grow and prosper. Robert Louis Stevenson once observed: “No man is useless while he has a friend.”

There are six program areas. The most well known is the construction program: Thousands of Corazón volunteers have built more than 750 homes for Mexican families. But building is interdependent with the other program areas, which are equally important. They are:

·       Community centers
·       Classes
·       Family sponsorships
·       Scholarships
·       Exchanges

Corazón always welcomes volunteers and sponsors—organizations and groups that sponsor activities. If you are interested, please contact the Corazón office. If you’re not sure what you might offer or how you might fit in, don’t worry; there’s room for everyone in a family.

Corazón is about service, but its impact is not one-sided. Sponsors and volunteers receive much more in return for what they give—not least, heart and family. Corazón and familia.
