✨ Kick off Via International’s 50 Years Together! ✨

This year, Via International is turning 50! And we’re beginning our anniversary celebrations with a community gathering that honors life, memory, and tradition.

Join us on Sunday, November 2 from 3–6pm at Mujeres Brew House for a vibrant Día de Muertos celebration that brings music, art, and community together.

Experience the joy and rhythm of the Somos La Voz Son Jarocho Youth Performance Collective, a youth-led ensemble carrying the powerful traditions of Son Jarocho music. Explore interactive art booths guided by Somos La Voz artists, where you can co-create works of art that honor memory and culture. Enjoy a taste of tradition with special Día de Muertos bread from the Pan y Paz Collective, baked with care for this occasion. And expect a few extra touches — there will be surprises in store!

This free and family-friendly event requires registration. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, making it the perfect way to spend the afternoon in community.

🌟 Come celebrate for a cause, support youth voices in art and music, and help us launch a year of honoring 50 years of borderland community building.

👉 Register today and join us in celebration!

Via International was established 50 years ago, as Los Niños, a direct aid organization responding to the needs of impoverished children living in the outskirts of Tijuana and Mexicali. This direct aid model served an immediate purpose but fostered dependency. To have greater impact, the organization developed programming to offer people the tools and opportunities for personal, educational and economic development that would in turn, benefit their families. Our programs in Mexico, focused on family health, food security, economic stability and leadership education are coordinated though our sister organization "Los Niños de Baja California." Since 2012, Via has focused its efforts in building cross border relationships and in developing similarly focused programs in and around the Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego. Our mission remains the empowerment of local leaders and support of civic engagement that unites community members and volunteers through community development programming.
