As the leading non-profit organization working with the Latinx population in Dane County, Centro has a forty one-year history of uplifting and strengthening the local community.

Centro focuses on shaping a better life for young Latinx through youth programs. We aim to see Latinx youth prepared to succeed in life by finishing school prepared for post-secondary education. Centro鈥檚 youth programs provide services for an estimated 250+ youth grades 6-12 in the Madison Metropolitan School District. Students progress as a cohort through our pathways between middle and high school, improve their academic performance, graduate on time, and attend college while forging a strong sense of personal identity. While youth are our future, we do not forget that youth cannot succeed without strong families. At Centro, we offer families services such as basic support and resources to address various issues affecting their everyday lives, including fraud, unemployment, legal issues, healthcare, and more.

Support the Immigrant Defense Fund

Please consider making a donation. Kindly designate your gift to the Immigrant Defense Fund in the note, supporting the essential work of protecting due process for every immigrant in the state of Wisconsin. Over the past several months, private bar attorneys have stepped up to meet a critical need鈥攔epresenting detained individuals, asylum seekers, and people navigating immigration court proceedings. Our neighbors in Wisconsin deserve strong due process protections, and I鈥檓 proud that Layde & Parra SC is on the front lines of defending these community members, many of whom are low-income. While clients contribute what they can, Centro Hispano has significantly expanded access to justice by subsidizing legal fees and increasing direct representation鈥攕upport that is vital in today鈥檚 climate. Centro Hispano is committed to ensuring Wisconsin continues to prosper by safeguarding the due process rights of our immigrant community. Please consider making a donation. Kindly designate your gift to the Immigrant Defense Fund, supporting the essential work of protecting due process for every immigrant in the state of Wisconsin.

Nuestros vecinos en Wisconsin merecen s贸lidas protecciones de debido proceso, y me enorgullece que Layde y Parra est茅n defendiendo a estos miembros de la comunidad, muchos de los cuales son de bajos ingresos. Si bien los clientes aportan lo que pueden, Centro Hispano ha ampliado de manera significativa el acceso a la justicia al subsidiar honorarios legales e incrementar la representaci贸n directa鈥攗n apoyo vital en el clima actual. Centro Hispano est谩 comprometido con asegurar que Wisconsin siga prosperando al ayudar a cubrir parte de los gastos de los derechos de nuestra comunidad inmigrante. Por favor, considere hacer una donaci贸n.

Supporting Youth & Engaging the Community

Support the Becas "Scholarship" Program. The Becas program is a unique opportunity to support students in their pursuit of higher education. Many of these young leaders have grown up in Centro鈥檚 programs and are now ready to take the next step, but financial barriers stand in the way. You can make a difference. By contributing to Becas, you help remove these barriers and open the door to college, career opportunities, and lifelong success for students who deserve it most. Let鈥檚 invest in their future. Thank you! Karime
