LUPE (La Union del Pueblo Entero)

Focus on: Community Wellness

Description: Join us on our journey to San Juan, Texas for THE domestic international experience of a lifetime. La Union del Pueblo Entero (LUPE) is a community union, founded in 1989 by Cesar Chavez, that serves to advocate and address the issues that impact the lives of the border communities along the Rio Grande Valley. With our partnership with LUPE we will spend the week volunteering in colonias (low-income border neighborhoods) providing resources, refurbishing housing units, and raising community awareness while in return, enhancing our cultural competency by learning about immigration reform and un poco español (a little spanish).
