Can someone tell me of a good program that volunteers in Mexico?
I live in San Diego which is like 30min about away from Mexico and I wanted to find a program that would cost me little money. I want to volunteer because I dont have much to donate but alot of programs on the internet makes you pay $500+ just to volunteer, it doesnt make too much sense. So any suggestions on volunteer programs, NOT the missionary kinds. Please from your own experience.

Volunteer here in the United States. Why not volunteer at the library? the humane society? local schools? Big Brother or Big Sister? Nursing homes needs lots of people just to sit and talk to the old people. The list is long. Stay at home and take care of your own.

check the Gringo Gazette North. It's a newspaper for the Gringos living in Baja Mexico. My grandmother lives down there and volunteers at a after school computer lab for the childern in Playa La Mision, just south of Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo.

Kids at my school work with Amor Ministries which helps build homes in Tijuana and surrounding areas. You don't have to be religious to volunteer to this organization and they will let you know when and where you can go to get involved with a building project. Plan on working tho. There is no sitting around and looking pretty. You will sweat, you will be tired, and you will have the biggest satisfaction you've ever experienced when you are through!
