Uniting youth across North America through the exchange of paper butterflies and letters! The Symbolic Monarch Migration mimics the migration of monarch butterflies to Mexico in the autumn and their return North in the spring. Students in the USA and Canada send life-sized paper butterflies in the fall and receive different paper butterflies from the participating groups in the spring plus a letter from a student in Mexico. Students in the USA and Canada also create Ambassador Folders as gifts for students in Mexico.
Join us for the 30th annual Symbolic Monarch Migration with youth from across North America. Families, home schools, zoos and aquaria, nature centers, libraries, youth groups, and classrooms are welcome to participate.
In fall 2024, over 20,000 youth in the U.S. and Canada created symbolic butterflies and sent them to Mexico for the winter. Students in schools near the Mexican monarch sanctuaries protected the butterflies and sent them north in spring 2025.Language: English (some content in Spanish)
Instructors: Susan Meyers, Estela Romero, MJV Staff
Cost: $20 per each Ambassador Folder (one classroom or group) MUST BE PURCHASED BY OCTOBER 10th!
These funds will support school visits in Mexico to deliver the butterflies and provide conservation education.
