Nuevo Laredo - Post Report Question and Answers

What volunteer opportunities are available locally?

There were organized events, put on by the Community Liaison Office (CLO), but for a regular, job-like opportunity, I can't say. - Dec 2022


A bit limited because we have to stay in our "green zone" and can't go to the poorer parts of the city. Check with the Women's Forum (a group of local women leaders, linked to the Consulate) for current volunteer opportunities. Some people volunteer on the Laredo side (animal shelter, network to support foster children). - Jun 2018


The women's forum has all the connections to NGOs to do volunteer work. - Apr 2017


Animal shelters on both sides of the border. Orphanage in Nuevo Laredo. Youth group in Nuevo Laredo. - Feb 2016


There are orphanages, animal shelters, churches and womens shelters that welcome volunteers. - Dec 2015


Yes, there are with orphanages, animal shelters and the like. You should speak Spanish though. Some people have found all kinds of things to do. On the surface these things are hard to find because there isn't really a driving force behind things to do. - Jun 2014
