Overview

About Amistades, Inc.

Amistades uses a culturally-rooted intergenerational family approach to working with Latinos and prioritizes addressing immediate issues, while simultaneously leading efforts that alter false narratives about communities of color and develop system-focused strategies that eliminate or change the conditions that perpetuate inequities.

Since 2006, the agency has worked to draw local, state, and national attention to the specific and unique cultural approaches to prevention and intervention that must be taken to serve Latinos at the program, practice effectively, and policy levels. All efforts are grounded in grassroots outreach, strategic partnership, and evidence-based practices.
