" It shall be the mission and purpose of International Engagement Volunteers to make a difference in the communities at the fringe of Mexico’s society. We seek to achieve this endeavor by coordinating fundraising events whose proceeds are used to attain goods and materials necessary for International Engagement in Mexico (IEM) to perform the required volunteering duties while abroad." Article II, IEV Constitution. |
MORE THAN JUST VOLUNTEERS
IEV is more than just a resume filler to display community service for our students. The experiences IEV provides for each student are priceless. Not only do members learn about the work and organization behind a non-profit, but they also become confident leaders with valuable experiences that most college graduates do not have.
Every week we work to overcome obstacles and challenges. It is not easy to make a decision with over fifteen people carrying different ideas. IEV provides students with the opportunity to work as a team and find solutions to those problems. As a member of IEV, each student holds a responsibility, whether it be helping with advertising, hosting and promoting our fundraisers, finding sponsors, or many other duties that come along with being part of our organization. Members of IEV get the opportunity to be creative, think outside of the box, and openly share ideas, something you cannot always do in the confines of a classroom.
