Who is a TransFronterizo?

A bicultural student who lives within 50 miles south of the US-Mexico border who was born in the United States, or travels between countries for school, work, recreation, or be with family in either country. TransFronterizo kids spend between 40-80% of their time in the United States and roughly 25% of their time traveling between countries.

Our Why

The binational region is most vulnerable to immigration and housing insecurity which raises questions about belonging, access to higher education, and economic mobility for Transfronterizo kids.

The Transfronterizo Institute cultivates and leverages the unique experiences, knowledge, and bilingualism of transfronterizo students, transforming educational settings to be more inclusive and acknowledging the strengths of those navigating multiple borders.
