Iowa-Yucatán Partners — Building Connections Through Education.
Be part of the change. Help us build a stronger future for the Yucatán.
At Iowa-Yucatán Partners, we believe that education is the most powerful tool for connection, growth, and transformation. Our mission is to create meaningful partnerships through shared learning—both in Iowa and in the Yucatán. Whether through formal scholarship support, hands-on skill-sharing, or cultural immersion, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and experiences that open doors to new possibilities and deeper understanding.
Education, in our view, goes beyond the classroom—it’s found in conversations, collaborations, and the exchange of everyday wisdom. By fostering environments where students, teachers, artists, farmers, and families can learn from one another, we help cultivate a spirit of curiosity, empathy, and lifelong learning. These educational exchanges not only strengthen individual lives but also build bridges between communities, reinforcing our shared commitment to mutual respect, opportunity, and sustainable development.
Connecting Iowans with Purpose
We help Iowans discover how their talents—whether in construction, medicine, technology, sewing, gardening, teaching, or more—can be used to serve communities in the Yucatán. From skilled professionals to passionate volunteers, there’s a place for everyone to contribute.
Whether you're leading a workshop, mentoring a student, or joining an immersion trip, your experience becomes part of a shared journey toward stronger, more connected communities.
