We are a group of families with kids ages 13-17 who are dedicated to creating a space where expat, immigrant, and native Mexican teens can connect and find belonging. As parents, our goal is to help them feel connected to this city and this community in a way that helps them grow into global citizens.  We do that by offering meet-ups, cultural explorations, classes, and social events. ### Subscribe to our blog [![](https://www.meridateens.club/hubfs/whats%20happening%20yucatan.jpeg)](https://www.meridateens.club/blog/whats-happening-yucatan-podcast) [Community](https://www.meridateens.club/blog/tag/community) ### [The Mérida Teens Club Story: Our Conversation on "What's Happening Yucatán?"](https://www.meridateens.club/blog/whats-happening-yucatan-podcast) [![Photo by Georg Arthur Pflueger on Unsplash](https://www.meridateens.club/hubfs/georg-arthur-pflueger-ukfrgATPD4Y-unsplash.jpg)](https://www.meridateens.club/blog/is-diverse-teen-community-possible) [Culture](https://www.meridateens.club/blog/tag/culture) ### [Can We Do This?
