Nuestra Casa de East Palo Alto

Nuestra Casa de East Palo Alto Elevating Voices in San Mateo County for 20+ Years! Join us in Creating Lasting Change! 👇 We work hard to build a community that leaves no one behind.

At Nuestra Casa, we stand by our community to help navigate institutions, build people power, and use their voice to shape a new, more equitable community. Our programs in East Palo Alto and its surrounding communities build leaders who transform our local community and are actively engaged in our local economy, school district, and civic life. Three core strategies inform every program, event, wo

rkshop, and advocacy effort we undertake:

◘We partner with Latino families to help them navigate the complicated systems that impact their lives from immigration to social services to health care. Nuestra Casa develops our educational offerings in direct response to the needs of our members—ranging from financial literacy to English classes, from adolescent parenting skills workshops to immigrants’ rights trainings.

◘We support Latino parents to become effective advocates for their children, at home, in local schools, and across the county. Our network of trained Promotoras are community leaders to use their power to build trust with our members and respond to the needs of the community as educators and advocates.

◘We use our collective power to shape policies and programs which can make our community more equitable, prosperous, and healthy. Recent wins include the creation of an Office of Immigrant Affairs for San Mateo County, bringing a banking institution to East Palo Alto as part of a larger campaign to fight pay-day lending practices which harm our community, and launching our Food Recovery program that provides fresh fruit and vegetables to nearly 6,000 residents a month.

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, culture, and achievement.

Juneteenth is both a celebration and a reminder of the ongoing work to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for all. As an organization committed to uplifting community voices and advancing equity, we recognize the importance of reflecting on our shared history while continuing to build a more just future.

📢 Please note: Nuestra Casa's office will be closed on June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. We will resume normal business hours on the next business day.

We wish everyone a meaningful Juneteenth as we honor the past, celebrate progress, and recommit ourselves to the work ahead. ❤️🖤💚

Hoy conmemoramos Juneteenth, una fecha que marca la emancipación de las personas afroamericanas esclavizadas en los Estados Unidos y celebra la libertad, la resiliencia, la cultura y los logros de la comunidad afroamericana.

Juneteenth es tanto una celebración como una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el trabajo continuo necesario para avanzar la equidad, la justicia y las oportunidades para todas las personas. Como organización comprometida con la equidad y el fortalecimiento de las voces comunitarias, reconocemos la importancia de honrar nuestra historia mientras seguimos construyendo un futuro más justo.

📢 Por favor tome en cuenta: La oficina de Nuestra Casa estará cerrada el 19 de junio en conmemoración de Juneteenth. Reanudaremos nuestro horario regular el siguiente día hábil.

Les deseamos a todos una significativa conmemoración de Juneteenth mientras honramos el pasado, celebramos el progreso y renovamos nuestro compromiso con la justicia y la igualdad. ❤️🖤💚
