The mission of Los Amigos de la Comunidad, Inc is: To increase the capacity of the underserved communities of the Imperial Valley and intertwined regions facing socio-economic and environmental injustices, health care access disparities and institutional discrimination. Los Amigos de la Comunidad, Inc is dedicated to building capacity of underserved communities from the ground-up with an emphasis on communities facing socio-economic and environmental injustices and challenges, lack of educational opportunities, poor infrastructure, lack of affordable and adequate housing by using culturally competent and relevant organizing and advocacy methods. Capacity building includes civic engagement, direct organizing/advocacy, creating access to resources and fostering leaders from the underserved communities to become their best advocates and take control of their issues focusing on the most underserved; people living below, at or just above the poverty level, people of color, immigrants, women, undocumented, LGBQT, homeless, farmworkers and other marginalized/disenfranchised subgroups within our region.
