| Community Organizing Program |
| El Centro Hispano's newest area of focus,
Community Organizing, is the extension of
our longer-established services. With our

Development & Community Action
programs, we are training Hispanic/Latino
leaders to improve quality of life for the entire

By training youth & adult community
leaders, El Centro Hispano's Community
Organizing programs help the Triangle's
