Our Programs & Events

Our programs foster growth academically, socially, and culturally for young learners.

Reading Buddies

High school volunteers visit dual language classrooms to read one-on-one with students, improve reading fluency, and build confidence in English and Spanish.

Author Visits

Our founder visits elementary schools to read original bilingual children’s books, talk about the writing process, answer students’ questions, and inspire the next generation of readers and writers.
