To create a society of compassionate, driven, global citizens by connecting students in the local Maya community with people from around the world through languages and cultures. To provide scholarships and affordable English language learning to bright, deserving students so they have more access to greater education and career opportunities.
Why is it important?
The town in which Na’atik is located, Felipe Carillo Puerto, Mexico, suffers from a 70 percent poverty rate - despite being a rich cultural center next to the popular tourist destination of Tulum. Na’atik aims to teach students in the local community the skills to visualize and achieve their dreams. English classes open the door to opportunities for local students and help them access well-paying jobs, study in fields such as engineering, education and medicine, and travel the world.
