Review for The Latino Community Association, Bend, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Latino Community Association is a lifesaver for the minority, but ever-increasing Latino population. With a scavenger budget, LCA serves as a jobs resource, posting jobs from Craig's list in Spanish and creating specific resumes for clients in need of a job. We refer those needing immigration advice to an attorney who does the initial consult for free. We coordinate a on-on-one tutoring program that connects Spanish and English speakers as cultural and language partners. We give cultural trainings for many area government and nonprofit groups. We served over 2,000 people last year. Our clients are among the neediest in our area. Each September we host a Festival of Culture providing booths, music, dance and activities from over 50 countries. We strengthen families, celebrate culture and make connections with people.
