Michael Bronn

Michael Bronn is a full-time resident of Oaxaca and brings with him a long involvement with reading promotion, English language instruction, and literacy programs – first with the large Oaxacan immigrant community in his hometown of Los Angeles and now with Oaxacan residents in their home state.

After obtaining his degree in urban sociology at Pomona College in Claremont, California, his interest turned increasingly to the educational needs of underserved immigrant populations in Los Angeles. For more than ten years, he worked with the Los Angeles Unified School District where he served as a language instructor and curriculum designer in a unique community-based program, the focus of which was “family literacy” with the objective of providing parents with the tools and experience to model study habits and to create a home environment in which to promote reading interest and activity.

Michael brings this experience and philosophy of “whole family involvement” to our specific focus of reading promotion for children. He was a member of the LPP Executive Committee for several years, and now as a Board Member, he manages communication projects and donor relations and leads tours to LPP-supported libraries. He is also a Sponsor at Large.
