Caritina Campos has spent the past three years volunteering to give adults the opportunity her parents did not have.

Campos, 26, is a volunteer for Puertas Abiertas Community Resource Center, and though she lends her assistance to several programs, most of her time is spent tutoring adults in the Plaza Comunitaria.

The program, which she assists with on a weekly basis, is a self-paced, online course offered through the Mexican government that helps adults improve their Spanish literacy and complete their Spanish education so they are more successful when learning English.
