Castaway Kids Mexico is a wonderful group of volunteers willing to lend a hand so that others less fortunate can better their own lives. From providing school scholarships to needy kids, to hosting recreational activities for children from the poorest sections of town, to providing food, clothing and shelter to families in emergency situations…Castaway Kids volunteers are an active bunch!
Their mission is to assist kids and their families in the San Carlos and Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico area with education so that they are able to improve their lives and increase their opportunities. Through their one on one student education sponsorship program they pay for the education of high achieving kids from low income homes. They facilitate improved learning abilities outside of the classroom through their after school education, recreation and music programs.
If you would like to volunteer, e-mail: castawaykidsmexico@gmail.com.

Castaway Kids Ranchito Community Center
In August, 2024, Castaway Kids opened a new Community Center in the Ranchitos sector of San Carlos. The Center is less than 100 meters from the Primary School and within walking distance of most of the kids’ homes. All of our Educational, Recreation and Family oriented programs are operating in this Center.
The “Club de Exploradores” kids group meets Tuesdays and Thursdays after morning school classes finish and the kids who attend are given a nutritious meal and spend their time in Educational activities, crafts, and improving their social and communication skills. There is also supervised recreational activities and the kids have many educational games to play with and books to read.
