COMMUNITY BUILDING
& EDUCATION
Through programming around educational support and wealth building for students and families – we help build stronger neighbors and neighborhoods.
We offer skills-building classes, life administration workshops, and
community-building events designed to introduce our Latino neighbors to each other and give them the knowledge and resources to thrive.
