ARTS & CULTURE

IGNITING CREATIVITY, SELF-EXPRESSION & PASSION

At Latino Network, we view arts and culture as essential elements of youth education. We believe every child—regardless of race, ethnicity or class—deserves an arts-rich education.

Latino Network’s arts education and cultural programs provide youth with the exposure and opportunity to:

  • Ignite creativity and passion

  • Gain new methods of self-expression in a safe environment

  • Strengthen problem-solving skills

  • Preserve and share Latine heritages and traditions

  • Embrace a more confident and positive cultural identity

Embracing Creativity & Cultural Identity

  • Our youth face many challenges. We work to eliminate disparities through systems change and to support our students from birth to high school graduation to foster positive cultural identity and academic success.

    Learn more about our Early Childhood Services and our Educational Access Programs.

  • We believe in the self-determination of the Latino community to solve our own problems. Our programs support the development of youth and adults to be agents of change in the community.

    Learn more about our adult leadership programs Unid@s for Oregon and Academia de Líderes, our youth leadership program and our advocacy work.

  • As many Latino families struggle with poverty, we work to strengthen whole families to move out of poverty and to promote positive cultural identity.
