MISSION STATEMENT
Friends of Puerto Aventuras offers the opportunity for the young adults and adults of the Puerto Aventuras Poblado to learn the English language and develop computer skills. We believe that these tools of education and training will provide them with lifestyle and occupational options that can command dignity, self-sufficiency and a sense of community.
