Tap into the life of the Maasai on a service-learning adventure to Kenya, Africa. During your trip, you will reside in Amboseli at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro to discover the Maasai way of life and support MCV’s humanitarian programs. MCV trips create meaningful connections between travelers and the Maasai people. Through sustainable tourism, we can improve the lives of the Maasai communities! This unique experience in Maasailand is the only opportunity to uplift Maasai communities, enjoy a wildlife safari, and safeguard Maasai heritage.

San Diego’s strategic geographic location has been key to making our economy prosper. Connectivity has been critical to our region’s global competitiveness, attracting a total of $15.6 billion of foreign investment in five years due to its top life sciences market, tech scene, presence of distinguished universities and quality of life. To increase our region’s global engagements with international cities, San Diego has established sixteen Sister Cities Societies in which cultural, educational, business, and technical exchanges take place.

The Mission Bay Preservationists go to Japan!

We are fundraising to give some of Southern California’s most talented young musicians the opportunity to travel and perform in JAPAN. This adventure started in 2017 when the Preservationists were selected to perform and represent San Diego in its sister city Yokohama, Japan to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of sister city relations. We will be returning in April of 2023 to collaborate with local musicians, perform for community events and enhance the bonds between our two cities.
