Our Story
Latino Voices of Minnesota began as a grassroots initiative born out of a deep-seated need within our community. Fueled by a desire to address the gaps in representation and support for local Latino families, our journey is one of resilience, collaboration, and unwavering commitment.
Our Beginnings:
In the early 2000s, a group of dedicated volunteers, many of whom were migrants themselves, came together in response to the challenges faced by our community. Confronted with issues such as limited access to culturally relevant resources and widespread misinformation, we united to form Latino Voices of Minnesota.
