Zine Centro

Scope and content:

This zine is a collaboration between 826CHI and Centro Romero. Our mission is to provide opportunities for those community residents with the fewest options. Through education, Centro Romero emphasizes the development of the whole family unit, the creation of community leadership and self-reliance. Centro Romero is a community-based organization that services the refugee immigrant population on the northeast side of Chicago. Our interrelated programs include Youth Learning and Leadership development, Women's Empowerment Projects, Adult Education, HIV/AIDS Outreach and Education and Legal Services. These are essential services that support healthy personal and social development of participants. Our long-term organization goal is to bridge a disenfranchised community of Latino immigrants and refugees into mainstream American society as well as improving their opportunity for upwards social mobility. Long-term sustainable growth of our target population will only be achieved through education, and leadership development, therefore we focus our energy in related initiatives.
