Amplifying Voices for Environmental and Social Justice
Increasing the participation and leadership of Latinos in the Columbia River Gorge through leadership development and civic engagement.
Leadership and Community Journalism Trainings
One of the objectives of Comunidades is to develop Latino leaders and raise voices on the front lines committed to the issues that affect their lives: toxic pollution, pesticides, health equity, access to housing, workers' rights, racial discrimination and social justice.
Community Journalism
Through training, Spanish-speaking participants learn and practice methods of disseminating information to their local communities.
Leadership Development
The courses provides participants with tools to identify community assets, group management, meeting management, conflict management, and the balance between discussion and action.
Civic Engagement
Our Civic Engagement Training will detail to participants the various forms of civic engagement and action items in their cities and counties.
