We are a community-based, non-profit organization that works with Latino and Native Indigenous families. We offer educational programs, family outreach and stabilization services including Domestic and sexual violence advocacy and therapy, Parenting programs, Arts & Culture programming and community educational forums.
Our distinct contribution to the Latino and Indigenous community of Pierce County is threefold;
•We act as a key and trusted liaison between stakeholders and community within the Pierce County.
•We act as a provider by providing a range of services that brings holistic professional support on relevant issues that might place a burden on their daily lives.
•We act as an enabler by ensuring that all the resources we provide allows them to not only thrive but to successfully achieve their own independence.
Centro Latino started to served the Latino community through the Catholic Community Services since 1983 and until 1990 it became its own entity. Today for over 29 years, Centro Latino has become the primary liaison between the Latino – Indigenous communities and a variety of stakeholders including; Pierce County Auditors Office, Washington State Commission on Hispanic Affairs, Washington Department of Commerce, United Way of Tacoma, Tacoma Art Museum, and more. Our vision encompasses the idea of fully integrating Latinos into the U.S. Society by providing them with equitable resources to become socially responsible community members. We believe that it is imperative for us to provide the necessary skills for Latinos to become a leading community in pursuit of economic security, legal protection, health and housing equity, and to excel in education as the leaders of tomorrow.
