What We Do

Latinos Progresando builds stronger and healthier families and communities by providing high quality low-cost legal immigration services, youth leadership development, community theater, and community forums 

Our programs include:

Community Education
Bringing key information to those who need it the most
Distributing accurate and up to date information on immigration and related topics is key to building stronger and healthier communities. Our community education program provides clients with accurate and timely information on important issues—including basic government and civics, the immigration process, and current immigration policy—dispelling the widespread misinformation that often surrounds issues of immigration. Participants also learn about available service providers, advocacy groups, and gain important contacts in the community to address future issues.

College-Bound Youth Group (CBYG)
Creating gateways to higher education for immigrants
CBYG offers students leadership, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities as well as access to important information about applying to college and navigating financial aid. Developed by area high school and college students, CYBG was designed to assist and encourage immigration and Latino youth in achieving their educational goals. It also provides students with opportunities to discuss and think critically about policies that affect their community.

Legal immigration services
Assisting clients in becoming informed about the immigration process, so they can reunite their families
Legal immigration services, which are provided at low cost,  assist clients in evaluating and applying for remedies and benefits for which they are eligible. It is important that we help clients understand the processes they are undergoing, what their expectations should be, and the benefits and responsibilities of their status.  Our agency is accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the nation’s highest immigration court and is listed as a referral agency for the local office of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.

Teatro Americano
Using theater as a form of expression to illustrate issues that affect the latino community
Teatro Americano allows participants to create and perform works whose content and values reflect those of the Latino community. The performances educate both the participants and the audience about important issues while encouraging the appreciation of theater in both youth and adults.
