El Centro de la Raza is a voice and a hub for Seattle and
Martin Luther King Jr. County’s Latino community as we advocate on behalf of
our people and work to achieve social justice. Through our comprehensive
programs and services, we empower members of the Latino community as fully
participating members of society. We also work to raise awareness with the
general public, and government, business and civic leaders about the needs of
the Chicano/Latino community in the United States.
Our organization has a strong commitment to the struggle for
civil rights for all persons, regardless of race, and a rich history of
services to the community. Many of our program participants come back to El
Centro de la Raza to join our advocacy efforts, to volunteer, or just to visit.
Along with our local work, we maintain an international perspective and connections
and continue to work for positive social change in the global community.
