Tijuana municipal authorities have implemented various social and cultural programs aimed at community engagement and youth development.

In August 2026, the Secretariat of Culture promoted the ‘Mis Vacaciones en la Biblioteca’ program, which hosted over 5,300 participants across 179 workshops in public libraries. The initiative focused on fostering reading and creativity among children, youth, and adults.

By September 2026, efforts expanded to include violence prevention and civic engagement. Mayor Abdiel Gutiérrez Coronado led initiatives at local secondary schools to promote civic values, supported by the federal Peace and Security Table. Concurrently, construction began on the ‘México Imparable’ Community Center in the San Antonio de los Buenos district. This multi-level government project aims to provide sports, culture, and mental health services to strengthen the local social fabric.
