I'd like to hear suggestions for organizations and so forth. I love visiting Mexico, and I think it's time to try volunteering.
Volunteering in Mexico - have you done it, with whom?

I haven't volunteered in México but when I've volunteered in other Latin American countries (Honduras and Guatemala) I've learned about the options from Spanish school websites. If you're already fluent in Spanish you wouldn't need classes but could use the websites as resources for local volunteer options. If you aren't fluent, studying part of the day and volunteering the rest is a great way to go (and fairly addictive imo). You can search for school websites here:

Happy trails!
What are your skills? Are you fluent in Spanish?
If nothing else you can contribute school supplies, Pay for a child's schooling or even walk dogs for the local Humane Society.
A friend of mine who's an Episcopalian priest has gone to Mexico several times to work with Habitat for Humanity. Students from a local Catholic university (Go, Zags!) have gone with her.
I don't have any more information about this type of thing, but I would assume you could access the Habitat website and see if they have any ideas.
