Our mission is to positively transform the lives of Latino youth, families, and communities.

About us

Latino Network was founded in 1996 by community leaders who grew concerned about the lack of adequate resources to meet the needs of the growing Latino community. Since that time, we have evolved to become an organization that also encompasses transformational programs aimed at educating and empowering Multnomah County Latinos. Low achievement scores, youth violence and high drop out rates undermine the Latino community’s potential. We address these issues by promoting early literacy, encouraging parent involvement, working with gang-involved and adjudicated youth and families, and providing academic support and activities to high school aged youth. We also build leadership capacity for youth and adults. Focus We are a Latino-led education organization, grounded in culturally-specific practices and services, that lifts up youth and families to reach their full potential. Our work springs from the core belief in Latino community self-determination—that is, the ability of community members to participate meaningfully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their families. Values Accountability: The commitment to excellence and results Culture: The continued connection to our rich histories, languages, and diversity. Collaboration: The power of multicultural, multi-generational, and cross-sector partnerships Education: The key to advancement for all Latino children and youth Self-Determination: The empowerment, leadership development, and active engagement of Latinos in the decisions that affect their lives. Social Justice: The organization and integration of Latino communities as a catalyst for equity and social change. Our programs for children and parents, youth and adults help improve community livability, foster civic participation, and prepare for educational and life success.

    Today, we honor Juneteenth ✊ A day that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation. Sadly, it took more than two years for that news to reach enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. We honor and celebrate the day that all Black Americans became free, and we continue to fight for racial equity for ALL BLACK AMERICANS 👏 — El día de hoy honramos JUNETEENTH (Junio 19) ✊ El 1 de enero de 1863, el presidente Lincoln emitió la Proclamación de Emancipación. Lamentablemente, esa noticia tardó más de dos años en llegar a los afroamericanos esclavizados en Galveston, Texas, el 19 de junio de 1865. Honramos y celebramos el día en que todos los afroamericanos se hicieron libres y continuamos luchando por la equidad racial para TODA LA COMUNIDAD AFRO-AMERICANA 👏 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

    Latino Network unequivocally condemns President Biden's executive order to prevent migrants from seeking asylum at the United States's border with Mexico, the most extreme anti-immigration policy to be put in place since 2018 ⚠️ This move will do nothing to address our outdated immigration system while simultaneously putting the United States in violation of not only our own laws (as evidenced by similar policies implemented by President Trump being overturned in court) but international law as well by denying the right of refugees to seek asylum. 🚨 Fearmongering rhetoric surrounding immigration spurred by racism against Latinx Americans is on the rise, and this action only adds fuel to the fire. We call on President Biden to reverse this shortsighted action and instead implement policies that reform our immigration system and provide more paths to legal residency and citizenship! 🇺🇸 —- Latino Network condenamos fuertemente la orden ejecutiva del presidente Biden para impedir que los migrantes busquen asilo en la frontera de Estados Unidos con México, que es la política antiinmigración más extrema que se haya implementado desde 2018⚠️ Esta medida no hará nada para mejorar nuestro obsoleto sistema de inmigración. Al mismo tiempo, pone a los EEUU en violación de no sólo de nuestras propias leyes (como las que fueron implementadas por el presidente Trump que fueron revocadas en los tribunales) sino también de las leyes internacional por negar el derecho de los refugiados a buscar asilo.🚨 La retórica alarmista sobre a la inmigración impulsada por el racismo contra los latinos está en aumento, y esta acción sólo añade más leña al fuego. Pedimos al presidente Biden para que revierta esta acción miope y, en su lugar, que implemente políticas que reformen nuestro sistema de inmigración y brinden más vías hacia la residencia legal y la ciudadanía!🇺🇸
