Within the last year, we have
  • completed the fifth year of the Rosarito city-wide reading initiative, "Rosarito lee", with reading programs in all 5 libraries and local schools. Learn more. 
  • donated more than $6,000 worth of Spanish language books to the libraries
  • donated more than $1,200 worth of library/art/craft supplies to the  libraries 
  • sponsored children’s reading programs at the libraries. Student participants tried to read as many books as possible during their summer vacation, competing for exciting prizes. Pre-readers had their own program and created their own picture books, telling about themselves.
  • developed a pilot Pop Up library
  • partnered with Denver Tech for All to bring computers to every Rosarito library branch
Of course, we want to continue and improve all of these programs. How is all this possible? It takes volunteers - people like you willing to give just a little of your time. Please consider joining us. You will reap rewards of knowing that you are helping to build a better life for Rosarito children and a quality tomorrow for the Rosarito community.

We have opportunities for bilingual, Spanish speaking and English speaking volunteers. Some of our opportunities:
  • assisting in library reading programs (bilingual or Spanish-speaking)
  • liaison with schools in our Rosarito Lee program (bilingual)
  • teaching English in library branches or needy schools
  • helping to design and organize reading programs/Rosarito Lee program 
  • conceiving and executing fundraising events
