About Colorado Latino Leadership Advocacy & Research Organization
CLLARO’s mission is to empower Latinos through leadership development, advocacy, and policy research to strengthen Colorado.
CLLARO’s vision for the future is a State of Colorado where Latinos achieve their fullest potential.
Benefit
CLLARO's goal is for us to be prepared for the inevitable demographic change that is coming. The nation's population of non-Hispanic whites is declining, as that population is aging and the birth rate is declining. Thanks to interracial marriages and higher birth and immigration rates among Latinos and other minorities, the complexion of Colorado is changing. Today, minorities comprise the majority of the population in four states in the country and in the District of Columbia. By 2043, the United States will be a nation made up, for the most part, of minorities. CLLARO is committed to reducing the constant inequities in income, education, health, and policies that have limited opportunities for Colorado's growing Latino population since 1848. CLLARO seeks to establish equitable opportunities for all Coloradoans and thereby increase the productivity of workers, promote equity in civic institutions, and improve Colorado's quality of life for decades to come.
