Latin American Coalition

About Latin American Coalition

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Latin American Coalition represents a dynamic community of Hispanics, immigrants, and cultural allies united by a shared vision of welcoming diversity and fostering mutual respect. Founded in 1990, the organization has spent over three decades building meaningful relationships with Latino families while simultaneously creating spaces where the broader community can learn from and celebrate Hispanic culture. The Coalition's mission centers on promoting the full participation of all people in North Carolina's civic, economic, and cultural life through collaborative integration, thoughtful education, authentic celebration, and strategic advocacy. What distinguishes the Latin American Coalition is its dual commitment: partnering directly with immigrant families to create access and opportunity while also serving as a cultural bridge for others seeking genuine connection and understanding. The organization envisions a diverse and vibrant Charlotte and North Carolina that genuinely welcomes, supports, and respects people of all cultural backgrounds. By bringing together Hispanics, immigrants, and allies, the Coalition creates a community-driven movement that recognizes the value and contributions of Latino and immigrant populations. Their approach reflects a deep understanding that true integration requires both removing barriers for immigrant communities and building cultural competency and appreciation throughout the broader community.
