OUR TEAM
The work of Hogar Infantil is made possible by local and international donors, who fuel our team, including dedicated staff and two volunteer boards — one in the U.S. and one in Mexico. We work together to provide leadership and end the cycle of poverty for our children through education.
Our Staff
The local staff of 15 full- and part-time employees who work directly with the children at the Ranch are known as “Tias and Tíos.” They are the heart of Hogar Infantil.
The Staff of Hogar Infantil includes directors, house parents, cooks and drivers.
Board of Directors Mexico
The local volunteer board of directors oversees operations at the Ranch. Most of the members are alumni of Hogar Infantil.
