MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to build a welcoming community and create opportunities where Latino families can belong, contribute and succeed.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Youth Development Programming We offer youth development programs for Latino and other immigrant and refugee youth from the middle school level through graduation from college. We also help students succeed in their postsecondary journey through case management and programming designed to meet their unique needs. Tax Preparation Services and Homeownership Our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site offers free, Spanish-language income tax preparation services to low-income, Latino adults. Our staff members also help taxpayers apply for or renew an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). We also counsel families on refinancing options and other housing counseling topics. Microenterprise Incubation Program and Financial Counseling Through this 10-week basic business course, we connect aspiring business owners and microentrepreneurs with basic tools and information on how to start and grow a business. Our culinary incubator allows food entrepreneurs to have an affordable commercial kitchen space and technical assistance to start or expand their food business. Our programming also includes financial counseling and digital literacy training for Latino individuals. Padres Comprometidos/Parents as Partners We mentor Latino parents on how to be engaged and involved in their children's education and reclaim their role as their child's first and most important teacher. We help to forge a working partnership between Latino parents and targeted public schools to ultimately improve children's academic achievement. Adult Education Programs We offer English as a Second Language classes at several different levels to adult English learners from all over the world.
