Our mission is to provide children with experiences that value and celebrate them as individuals and honor and foster their gifts and talents.
Who We Have Funded
We have funded a range of organizations from youth sports leagues to non-profits, all dedicated to fostering the growth and potential of children in our communities.
"We work every day to build great futures, but our mission could not be accomplished without the support from community partners like Aprendamos Family of Services. Thank you for all you do to help our Club's youth reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens!"
Ashley Echavarria, CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Las Cruces
"Your generosity has not only given these children a chance to play baseball but has also opened doors to valuable life lessons and experiences that will stay with them forever."
Mario Lopez, Coach, NM Howlers
“We have been able to support children, help them deal with challenges, and work through these challenges as they participate in Camp New Amigos. The program has been a vital resource to children and families with an autism diagnosis in our community, and we are so grateful for the support from Aprendamos to help make these opportunities possible!
Ruth Ortiz, Board & Community Liaison, Hearts for Autism
