Take a Trip

Vida Joven visits occur three to four times per year. The group departs from St. John’s, Chula Vista, traveling in a passenger van across the border. From there, Vida Joven is a short 10-15 minute drive. The group spends the morning with the children and then returns home. If you would like to learn more, fill out the form above.
