Our Mission at El Pueblo, Inc.

El Pueblo's mission is to effect positive social change through community collaboration and partnership, leadership development, advocacy, education, health promotion and cross-cultural understanding.

Vision

El Pueblo envisions a just and equal community where all Latinos are respected, valued, and engaged across North Carolina.

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.
