Our mission is to foster a positive working relationship among Latino-focused agencies, Latino individuals, and other organizations, groups, and individuals that serve Latinos in the Northwest Ohio area.
The mission includes but is not limited to, improving Limited English Proficiency services, organization/promotion of Latino cultural events, and advocacy for the placement of Latinos and Latinas in leadership positions throughout Northwest Ohio.
In doing so, the Latino Alliance aims to improve the social welfare of the Northwest Ohio community.
