Mission
This organization (Latino Partnership of Champaign County NFP) was formed for charitable and educational purposes. Our primary and specific mission includes:
• to eliminate discrimination
• to defend human and civil rights protected by law
• to support instruction or training of individuals to develop and improve their skills and abilities
• to share public awareness and understanding of timely issues which are pertinent and beneficial to the community
In order to achieve these goals, the Latino Partnership strives to support and improve the services available to the Latino community in Champaign County, and to build the capacity of services provided by organizations and individuals. We hope to keep the public informed about important information regarding safety in the community, legal rights, healthcare, educational and job opportunities, English classes, and other issues beneficial to the community.
