OUR TESTIMONIALS
The Coalición Latinos Unidos has provided us with a platform to share information regarding available language services for Limited English Proficient individuals, Interpreter Training and other services that the Language Access Resource Center provides. The Coalition meetings are a great forum to network and exchange ideas with other professionals, as well as to learn about services that other agencies provide to the community.

Associate Program DirectorAs a previous recipient of the scholarship fund, I can tell you how much it means to not only receive the financial assistance in order to continue attending school but also how much it meant to be welcomed into this wonderful group of professionals. What this Coalition does truly matters as they are planting seeds in this community by assisting students financially and investing in their future.

The benefit of networking on a monthly basis with individuals from different agencies has been a way to find information on the different types of services available, employment, scholarships, and other resources.
I have found The Coalición Latinos Unidos the place to go as an additional resource. I am grateful to be part of this great organization!
