Mission Statement
Click to view photo gallery
 

BorderLinks is an international leader in experiential education that raises awareness and inspires action around global political economics.  

BorderLinks grew out of the Sanctuary Movement in the 1980’s when faith communities, universities, and other organizations rallied to advocate on behalf of thousands of refugees fleeing persecution in Central America.  

Today, BorderLinks’ educational programs focus on issues of immigration, community formation, development, and social justice in the borderlands between Mexico, the U.S and beyond.

As a bi-national organization, BorderLinks brings people together to build bridges of solidarity across North and Latin American borders and promote intercultural understanding and respect.

Vision Statement

BorderLinks envisions a world in which people, within and across social borders, respect and care for each other, value and celebrate differences, and build healthy and just communities where everyone has equal opportunity for a full and dignified life.

Vision

Borderlinks visualiza un mundo en el cual las personas se respetan y se apoyan mutuamente, valoran y celebran las diferencias, construyendo comunidades sanas y justas donde todos tengan igual oportunidad para una vida plena y digna dentro y a través de las fronteras sociales.

Mision

Borderlinks es líder internacional en educación en asuntos relacionados con las políticas económicas globales a través de la educación popular, creando conciencia y motivando acción.

Borderlinks nace del movimiento santuario de los 80´s  cuando comunidades de fé,  universidades y otras organizaciones se unieron para abogar por los miles de refugiados huyendo de la represión en Centro América.

Hoy en día los programas educativos de Borderlinks se enfocan hacia asuntos de migración,
formación comunitaria, desarrollo y justicia social, en el área fronteriza entre México y Estados Unidos y mas allá.

Como organización binacional Borderlinks une a las personas con el fin de construir puentes solidarios a través de las fronteras entre Norte y Latinoamérica, promoviendo el entendimiento y respeto intercultural.
