About Center for Latino Progress - CPRF

The Center for Latino Progress - CPRF is a partner in building stronger communities and celebrating the strength, vitality and potential of our Latino community. We do this by providing culturally competent services and programs that foster individual and community growth, and create economic opportunities for all. Our mission is to advance the socioeconomic conditions of the community at large, with emphasis on Hispanics, through education, training, supportive services, leadership development, and advocacy. We understand that a strong economy helps business and communities to thrive, and that supporting the people that power the economy is key. As our Latino population continues to grow, there is a great opportunity to advance together. After all, we may have a different heritage, but we are all part of the same future. Our team collaborates with community partners to help our local Latino population achieve its full potential. We provide ESL instruction and training to help adults become workplace-ready, build leadership skills, increase financial literacy, provide civic education, empower youth through college readiness programs and career training. We seek to break their barriers with legal immigration services and guide them with multimodal transportation opportunities. We also advocate for local and national legislation that is in the best interest of our Latino community. For four decades, The Center has embraced people of all nationalities and continues to be a magnet for Limited English Proficient people who have made Connecticut their home.
