Experience service at a whole new level.
The journey of discovering who you are begins with looking into and through the eyes of others. A service opportunity is just that. Join us as we serve others and discover who you were born to be. We are confident that a week serving will forever change your life and how you see the world and will be a catalyst for you to be a world changer back at home.
During the week we will live and work alongside organizations and ministries that are already doing amazing work every day. Join us in doing service responsibly where everyone serves, everyone is honored, and everyone wins.
We believe that everyone has a desire to know their lives matter and can make a difference in this world. This is especially true among teenagers. We have seen both high school students and adults become more alive as they join God in what he is doing in this world- caring for the poor, orphans, and widows. When we serve, our lives are impacted and changed as well as the lives of those with whom we interact.
It is our hope that these trips are a catalyst to help us live more intentionally focused on God and others when we return home. Mexico is a reminder that our lives do matter and that we can ultimately affect change at home and around the world.
Although most Be2Live Mexico trips stay at Door of Faith Orphanage (www.dofo.org), home to nearly 100 children, we do infrequently stay at the dorms of one of our other partner sites.
Each high school trip will be open to the first 50 high school students who register and submit their $290 deposit.
We are proud of our commitment to keep our student to leader ratio at the incredibly low level of seven students for every leader. The quality of your student’s experience is our primary objective and we think you will see the results in the testimonials from past trips! We are always looking for solid leaders who are willing to walk beside and serve students so they can serve each other and the community. If you are interested, let us know!
Projects are dependent on the needs of the organizations we work with and the community at the time of our travel. Projects range from construction (concrete, framing, drywalling and painting) to classes, sport and art camps with the children, cooking a meal for the orphans and delivering boxes of basic supplies to needy families in the community. We will also have plenty of time to play with children in the community. The goal of every project is to work alongside the local community under the direction of our partners.
The only requirement is that you are a current high school student. All over the United States are welcome. Having a flexible attitude and a willingness to serve and learn new skills will help you have a more meaningful week.
In order to make this trip the best experience for you and everyone else who is going there are some expectations, everyone will need to commit to. These expectations are necessary to ensure a fun, safe, and effective trip.
It is important to be a team player while on this trip.
An attitude of flexibility will be very beneficial on this trip. Flexico Mexico! During the trip you will be expected to hold to the following:
No drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or firearms
No guys in girl’s dorm and vice versa
An adult will always be with the students outside the “campground”
This is an electronic free trip (no cell phones), this helps foster being present to each other and the community.
Dress code – due to volunteering in a more conservative area of Mexico, work clothes consist of basketball length shorts and t-shirts.
Breakfast, filtered drinking water, and snacks are provided by Be2Live. Lunch and dinner are provided by local Mexican cooks. It is the best Mexican food you will ever have.
No, we accept students on a rolling basis; however, enrolling early will allow you the most flexibility with your first choice of dates. Trips close at 50 students.
