Welcome to the exciting
world of the Latin American Community Center!
also known among its many friends and supporters as
El Centro Latino
The Agency has been in the Hilltop of
Wilmington since 1969 serving and supporting the community and people
that surround it.
As stated in our vision and mission,
we seek to empower members of our community to become contributing members
of society. We do this through advocacy and by offering a continuum
of care of programs and services to anyone that seeks our assistance
from the ages of one to 101. Our goal is to change lives.
Continuum of care programs and
services are offered in two strategic focus streams: Lifelong Learning
and Life Empowerment. Lifelong Learning concentrates on the educational
needs of our client families, from quality pre-school programs to adult
education. Life Empowerment focuses on the immediate life needs
families and individuals may be facing, from short term case management
to a job placement, or learning English to be able to obtain better
jobs and buy a house.
Our journey over these years would not
have been possible without the support of the community, our funders,
volunteers and the dedicated staff. Please join us in discovering the
world of El Centro Latino as you navigate across the programs and services
that create the fabric of our continuum of care philosophy.
