Help sustain a bilingual library and cultural center

 

The Oaxaca Lending Library is powered by volunteers. From maintaining our infrastructure to organizing and executing community events and programs, volunteers shape nearly every part of the OLL's mission to promote literacy, learning, and cross-cultural community in Oaxaca.

​

Whether you have professional experience or simply want to contribute your time, there's a place for you.
