A Spirit of Community The success of the Carlos Rosario School model lies in large part with the strength of our ties to the community. In our programming we first assess the needs and aspirations of the community and of individuals. Then through our award-winning adult education programs we provide our students with the tools to become more invested, productive members of society, which in turn positively impacts the larger community. Giving back is a fundamental part of our mission, and here at the School a sense of community pride is continuously fostered. We have a robust volunteer program that brings together students, alumni, staff, and community members. Thank you to all our dedicated volunteers without whom the School’s success would not be possible! “Carlos Rosario is an ideal example of an organization that really gives back to the community and makes a difference in peoples’ lives every day.” – Brahim Rawi, Carlos Rosario School Alumnus and Board Member, Vice President, Bank of America Volunteer Contribution Highlights Community •Working with local nonprofits •Hosting toy and food drives for other local organizations School •Raising scholarship funds •Tutoring and assisting teachers in the classroom •Aiding in school cultural events and helping to plan the Spring School Dance Volunteer Hours Contributed Total: 4,672 Local Partners In order to provide holistic support to the students at the Ca ɱ
