Who We Are
We are a group of individuals hoping to utilize our privilege as educators, attorneys, community
organizers and artists to make Charlottesville a better place for its Latinx community members
HISTORY
Creciendo Juntos means “growing together" and began in 2005 as a community effort to support Latino
families living in Charlottesville and Albemarle. We are a leading Latino advocate and provide year
round workshops, forums, and resources for Latinos and Latino-serving organizations. We are directed
by a volunteer board and partner
broadly to help strengthen Latino families' connections within our communityr
WHAT WE DO

Are you interested in being an ally for the Latinx community? Or perhaps you already are? Do you work closely with the Latinx community? If you're interested in connecting with other allies and working towards solving some of the major issues related to mental health and education in our community, consider joining one of our workgroups. Our groups facilitate communication across organizations and service providers in relation to mental health and education issues within the Latinx Community.
