SEW celebrates 40 years of experiences in Guadalajara!
Since 1986, Spanish Education for Women has been teaching Spanish to US women committed to immigration justice. Every summer talented teachers and friendly families welcome us in Guadalajara, Mexico.
You can join us — just as scores of teachers, attorneys, immigration activists and others have done before – leaving the comfort of home to strengthen your language skills and expand your cultural awareness.
CREATIVE TEACHING
SEW is committed to creative teaching and sound pedagogy. Participants receive thirty hours of instruction weekly with morning classes on a university campus and afternoon tutoring in the neighborhood. Participants return home more competent in expressing their thoughts and more confident in understanding Spanish-speakers.
WELCOMING FAMILIES
SEW participants live in the modest homes of host families and have the chance to hear many stories of achievement and struggle. The vibrant working-class community welcomes us to cultural celebrations and local traditions.
SUMMER SESSION 2026
Join us this summer to strengthen your skills and meet incredible local women. You’ll return home better prepared to accompany migrants who are experiencing extreme challenges in our communities.
Our 2026 program runs from June 29 to July 17, 2026 in Guadalajara, Mexico. Limited scholarships are available. Contact us for more information and an application.
