Latino network POSITIVELY TRANSFORMs THE LIVES OF LATINE YOUTH, their FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY.
WHAT WE DO
At Latino Network, we believe in the power of education and community. We are a Latine-led organization deeply rooted in culturally specific practices, dedicated to uplifting our youth, their families, and our community to achieve their fullest potential.
Our programs provide transformative opportunities, services, and advocacy for our youth, families, and communities' education, leadership, and civic engagement.
OUR PROGRAMS
From our Health & Wellness department and program to our immigration navigation services, we take a comprehensive approach to addressing our community’s needs. Latino Network recognizes early learning as crucial to a child’s future. Our programs support parents as their children’s first teachers and prepare children for success in school and life. We build pride in heritage, home language, and strong foundations through programs integrating early literacy, Latine culture, and parent engagement. Our Economic Justice Department also plays a substantial role in our comprehensive approach. Their programming ensures families access housing security, energy assistance, and case management.
Our Youth Empowerment and Violence Prevention programs are culturally specific and strengths-based. They guide youth and their families to overcome the odds and achieve positive educational, employment, health, and other goals. Their programs leverage prevention strategies and community-based services to reclaim the lives of at-risk and gang-involved youth and ensure whole families achieve stability.
