The programs administered by the organization are:

Truchas Pre-School - which serves children from the communities of Truchas, Ojo Sarco and Cordova, provides supervision and appropriate curriculum for children ages 2 to 5 years old. The program, which is not income based, provides social, developmental and language skills encouraging a successful transition to the public school.

Truchas Community Library is a public library and has over 6,000 books in the collection, 250 videos, 200 audios, and 150 DVD’S. There are about 425 registered cardholders. The Library offers notary services, copies, computer help, faxing, and homework help to any school aged student and 8 public access computers. The Director reads twice a weekly to the Pre-School, where children also work with crafts making a project based on a theme picked for the week.

Truchas Summer Art and Science Project - Since 2000, Truchas Services Center has offered programming for youth during the summer. We have provided a summer activity curriculum and lunch for youth of the communities with an emphasis on visual, musical and dramatic arts. In 2009 a science component was added to the programming.

Truchas Community Center provides a central meeting space for community organizations including: the Land Grant, Los Llanitos Acequia Organization, and High Road Artisans. The programs provide opportunities for local people to receive training, acquire skills and then be employed in their community
