Caminos Foundation was founded on the belief that lasting change begins with listening to communities and learning from their experiences. Our work connects research, storytelling, and practice to highlight local knowledge and co-create solutions that strengthen learning and opportunity across the border region.
Caminos Foundation was born out of a commitment to build bridges between research, policy, and community action. Our work is rooted in the belief that communities hold knowledge and power to shape equitable futures.
