ABOUT US

LatinXOutreach

LatinX started in 2020 as a consulting and marketing company with a goal of building bridges between public programs and the Latinx community. Even with the best intentions, many nonprofit and government programs are simply unable to reach the Latinx community. Or, if they succeed in reaching Latinx audiences, they struggle to build trust and to bridge cultural divides. The challenges inherent in outreach to the Latinx community include language barriers, differences in cultural values, fears related to immigration status, and other complex factors. As an organization created by and for this diverse community, LatinX is equipped to face each of these challenges, establishing a sense of trust and accountability between public programs and Latinx patrons. It is our goal that every member of the Latinx community feel included, cared for, and empowered to receive the resources and services they need. After almost 2 years of service, we are growing in what we are able to provide with the creation of projects between the creation of them, planning, execution and others. We felt it was a good time to change the marketing and consulting description of our company for something that can cover more of what we do. We are now LatinX Outreach, as our main purpose is to serve and reach to our community with every one of our projects.

She also created some other projects to help those who are not visible like Essential Equity Project, Estamos Contigo, and Educacion Que Vale. Those are projects to educate and support the latino community in different ways. Claudia has 19 years of experience in community organizing, advocacy, and communications.

Over the course of her career, she has volunteered with many nonprofit organizations in the fields of domestic violence, immigration, early childhood education, health, and human services – all working directly with the Latinx community.

As a Mexican immigrant who has been in the US for almost two decades, Claudia has personally overcome many of the challenges that most immigrants face daily. She has worked in the fields and warehouses under extreme conditions, worked in underpaid services jobs, and personally experienced the discrimination and disenfranchisement of the Latinx immigrant experience.

This personal experience has inspired her commitment to ensure that Latinx immigrants feel accepted, valued, and integrated as an important part of the communities where they live and work. This commitment to serving the Latinx community in the most culturally-appropriate and effective ways has served as the foundation of all the projects and campaigns that she had created.

Promotoras Team- Communitty Educators/Angels of the Communty

We started our first projects with a small team of powerful women from our community that were open to learn and add more skills to be able to disseminate education, information, and support to people in need. They were called Promotoras. With all they have done and all the growth we are experiencing as a group, the way to call them and give them a title that describes them according to what they all do for others has become one of our bigger challenges. How can you find only ONE WORD that can describe all what we do? Our promotoras not only give information, but are also a very important piece for the decisions taken by so many members in our community, they have become the support, the voice of those who can’t be seeing by others, the support for those in need, the educators that have the best intentions to lead and guide those that are looking for options, the Angels that appear when there are families in very critical situations were they have being praying for an answer. For all of these and much more we have been calling our group Community Educators. But now after so many months collecting comments from members in our community as that is a very important piece for the creation of each of our projects and we listen carefully to what our community needs and wants. We saw something very interesting and repeated it very often when people tried to describe our promotoras work. From leasing our community members now we have the best description and the best title that we can even find to describe our promotoras work, the essence and core of our projects, and most of all the heart that our promotoras put in every activity they do to serve our community. Now as the community has called them, our promotoras have earned their own special title in front of our community members as ANGELS, so from there we can now give them the perfect title and we are so proud to call them “COMMUNITY ANGELS”.
