Our Mission

At the Maya Heritage Center, our mission is to preserve Maya culture while empowering Maya communities.

We believe heritage is not just about protecting the past — it’s about supporting people today. That’s why our work brings together education, research, and community collaboration. We provide Maya students and families with access to technology, literacy programs, and cultural workshops; we connect scholars and local communities through symposiums and publications; and we create opportunities like bio-expeditions, exchange programs, and a Virtual Museum so that Maya heritage can be celebrated and shared worldwide.

Our commitment is simple: honor the past, strengthen the present, and inspire the future.
