THE MONARCH EFFECT FOUNDATION IS A REGISTERED NON-PROFIT IN MEXICO - MEF2306142B1
-Bringing the community together for educaction-
the high cost of living in an educational desert
The Challenge: in Los Cabos, inspired, motivated and talented students from middle-class families cannot get financial support to help them achieve higher education. Charities with educational support only apply to the very poor. There are no student loans and very limited government assistance programs. The best schools are on the mainland which means students need to leave home which increases the costs substantially. The "privilege" of middle-class means the financial burden falls directly on the family with many sacrificing opportunities for students to continue as a result of this burden. Or, families must choose which of their children get to continue with university.
financial and mentorship support
education is the great equalizer
The Solution: The Monarch Effect Foundation makes higher education a reality through sponsorship, mentoring, and community engagement. We exist to create a future where every inspired, motivated, and talented young student living in Los Cabos can unlock their full potential, has the opportunity and choice to attend top schools both in Mexico and abroad, and has community resources to support them.
The Students: We identify high-achieving students in high school whose families do not have the necessary financial resources to send them to university (even if they have tuition scholarships).
giving back and paying it forward
The Program: The Monarch Effect Foundation does not just hand out financial support scholarships. Together with the parents and our community, we act as mentors for our students, provide life-coaching, seminars, workshops and one-on-one time to prepare them and support them throughout their study program. Every student and parent has "skin in the game", responsibility and accountability to the foundation.
Giving Back: The students and their families make a commitment to help support the long-term sustainability of the foundation with post graduation financial contributions and return of service as mentors and ambassadors. Together we work to interconnect the greater Los Cabos community as a foundation network providing other mentoring resources, information, internships, and job experience. Our goal is to build a strong, skilled class of professional young adults stepping from their school careers back into to their home community to complete the circle and ensure longevity of the programs and scholarships.
Currently, we sponsor 8 students from Los Cabos with scholarships.
We have another 17 students in our mentorship program and we need your help to get them to their dreams at school.
