-Create a two-way learning experience to develop reciprocal understanding, respect and adaptation between established residents and Latino immigrants;
-Create educational programming on Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S. relationship with the region;
-Empower the Latino community throughout the Twin Cities by providing and connecting participants with resources and educational, economic and community engagement opportunities;
-Utilize our knowledge and experience as educators and service providers to transform underlying system problems that result in inequalities of power and resources
