We are stronger together. At La Colaborativa, we know how to navigate the path from instability to empowerment. Every voice matters, and as a united community, we create lasting positive change to enhance the lives of Latinx individuals.
Empowering Our Community is in Our DNA
La Colaborativa, founded in 1988, is a Latina-led organization that has served as a steadfast, reliable, and bold ally to Latinx immigrants in Greater Boston for over 35 years. Operating in gateway cities such as Chelsea, East Boston, Everett, Lynn, Revere, and Malden, we collaborate with Latinx immigrants to develop and implement a range of programs, initiatives, and community campaigns that serve and uplift our community.
Our focus areas include ensuring food and housing security, promoting economic progress, celebrating cultural heritage, and cultivating immigrant leadership to effect policy and systemic changes for long-lasting community benefits.
As a trusted resource for Massachusetts’ immigrant population, we provide linguistically and culturally appropriate information and resources to some of the state’s most vulnerable individuals, including newly arrived immigrants, undocumented families, non-English speakers, as well as low-income tenants and workers.
