Our Mission at El Pueblo, Inc.

El Pueblo is a North Carolina non-profit statewide advocacy and public policy organization dedicated to strengthening the Latino Community. This mission is accomplished through leadership development, proactive and direct advocacy, education, and promotion of cross-cultural understanding in partnerships at the local, state, and national levels.

Main Programs

• Advocacy: The Advocacy Initiative Program is dedicated to working with the Latino community, allies, policy-makers, English and Spanish language media, and the greater North Carolina community to inform and elevate the dialogue around policy issues at the local, state, and national level.
• Culture: El Pueblo’s Cultural Program serves as a medium that fosters multicultural understanding and appreciation of Latin American art and culture to a large, diverse audience.
• Health: El Pueblo, Inc. has several health programs. These health programs focus on community advocacy, capacity building, leadership development and resource development with the ultimate goal of improving the health of Latino/as in our state. Our efforts have included early detection of breast and gynecological cancers, reproductive and sexual health as well as children’s health.
• Public Safety: Our public safety mission is to empower North Carolina's Hispanic/Latino community through culturally sensitive information and education regarding relevant public safety issues. This mission is further advanced through our partnerships with local organizations that assist us in raising awareness and ultimately changing risky behaviors related to driving while intoxicated, the use of seat belts, child safety seats and domestic violence and sexual assault information, among other public safety issues.
• Youth: El Pueblo’s Youth Program works to empower Latino youth in NC through leadership development, advocacy, media literacy, health education, civic engagement, among other subjects.
