Welcome to seven days of meaningful impact and cultural exploration! Your participation in this trip to Mexico not only immerses you in hands-on solar installation but also directly supports the community by helping cover project costs. From equipment and materials to maintenance and technical support. Beyond the installation, you’ll meet local community members, experience the culture of Baja California, and gain firsthand knowledge of how solar energy transforms lives. Every moment of your involvement contributes to a lasting impact and a richer understanding of sustainable development in the region.
During this trip, you’ll take part in installing a solar system that will directly benefit an off-grid community member in Baja California, Mexico. You’ll be fully immersed in the project; working alongside the beneficiaries, learning about solar technology, and practicing safe installation methods. While the technical details will be shared closer to the trip, rest assured that everyone, regardless of prior experience, will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully.
Spanish fluency is not required to participate. Our bilingual staff will be on hand to provide translation and guidance throughout the experience. Still, we encourage travelers to brush up on basic Spanish in the weeks leading up to the trip to enhance cultural connection and engagement with the community.
