IEV is more than just a resume filler to show that you did community service. The experiences IEV provides for each student are priceless. Not only do members learn about the work and organization behind a non-profit, they become confident leaders with valuable experiences that most college graduates do not have. Throgh IEM sudents learn about an entirely different culture and community through the events and interactions not only among their peers, but with the members of the community.
IEV is an essential part of IEM. IEV is the key to the foundraising of the IEM program, the entities and volunteering work that will be taking place in the different working sites in Mexico. IEV strives to reach goals every year and raise funds to make each trip special and different form the last.

Every week we work to overcome obstacles and challenges. It is not easy to make a decision with over fifteen people carrying different ideas. IEV provides students with the opportunity to work as a team and find solutions to problems and ideas to reach our fundraising goals. Each student has a responsibility, whether it be help with advertising, promoting fundraising, running fundraisers, or anything else. Members of IEV get a chance to be creative and think outside of the box, something you cannot always do in the confines of a classroom.
