McAllen, TX

Just miles from the Mexico border, McAllen, TX, has hosted the UPS Community Internship Program (CIP) since 1984.

Deep in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, the hot and humid sunshine beats down upon the residents of McAllen, TX, a border town only six miles north of Mexico...

Overview of CIP -- McAllen, TX
Including the border cities that sit on the Mexico side, the area is a binational, bicultural, bilingual, and international metropolis with a population of 2.4 million. McAllen is one of the first destinations for Mexican emigrants when they cross the border. While the ideals of freedom and opportunity in America provide inspiration, the same problems that were seemingly left behind only miles to the south - poverty, unemployment, and an overwhelming feeling of helplessness - are just as present to the north, compounded by a challenging language barrier that makes communication nearly impossible.
