Confronteras
is an initiative of the Child Leader Project to immerse young leaders in experiences and opportunities regarding issues that they identify as most important to them. Confronteras: Confronting the USA-Mexico Border is an opportunity to visit the border and meet with leaders, immigrants and citizens to create a whole and contextual understanding of what the border means to people on both sides.

Welcome to Confronteras!

Introducing Confronteras! We are a group of high school students, young adult mentors, and supportive teachers who will be confronting the Mexico-US border in a number of ways over the next few months. We are currently preparing for a trip to Tucson, AZ & Nogales, Mexico this February -- While there, we will meet with many different community members, non-profit and governmental organizations, in order to better understand the wall that has been built to separate the two countries and the human rights issues surrounding immigration policies.

Please follow our work here! We will be posting about the trainings we have and the events that we will attend and host. Join us in our effort to better connect ourselves with our communities, and understand the social justice issues that surround us, within a global context.
