Center for Latino Progress - Connecticut Puerto Rican Forum Since 1976, the Center for Latino Progress, a nonprofit, has been dedicated to uplifting Hispanics and vulnerable populations in Greater Hartford.

We drive positive change through education, leadership development, economic empowerment, and advocacy. The mission of the Center for Latino Progress - CPRF is to advance the socio-economic conditions of the community at large, with emphasis on Hispanics, through education, training, supportive services, leadership development, and advocacy. Since 1978, the Center has offered culturally competent services and programs that foster individual and community growth, and create economic opportunities for all. We specialize in providing cost-effective programs to the marginalized and disadvantaged residents of Hartford and neighboring communities, in order to help them enter the economic and social mainstream. In addition, the Center advocates for the betterment of Latino communities at local, state, and national levels in partnership with statewide and national organizations. Our objective is to see that the people we serve have the skills and competencies needed to succeed in employment, become stable members of their communities, gain civic engagement, and achieve financial sustainability. To reach these goals, the Center has created models of contextualized vocational programs, comprehensive support services, and civic/leadership educational activities. The Center for Latino Progress - CPRF is recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to provide affordable legal and linguistically appropriate services, and culturally competent naturalization programs to the growing legal permanent residents in the area. The Center is proud of Co and Hartford

When families are informed, communities grow stronger.

Thank you, NBC Connecticut, for highlighting the work we do every day at the Center for Latino Progress! 📺

Two things we want every family in Hartford to know:

You don't have to choose between your paycheck and your family. CT Paid Leave can replace part of your income when you need time off for your own serious health condition, a new baby, or caring for a loved one. Our team will help you apply for free. Call us at 860-247-3227 or stop by Fridays, 9am–2pm.

🗳️ Your voice matters. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. The voter registration deadline is this Friday, Oct. 16, and you can also register and vote the same day in person. Early voting runs Oct. 19 – Nov. 1.

Cuando las familias están informadas, las comunidades se fortalecen.

¡Gracias a NBC Connecticut por destacar el trabajo que hacemos cada día en el Center for Latino Progress! 📺

Dos cosas que queremos que todas las familias en Hartford sepan:

No tienen que escoger entre su sueldo y su familia. CT Paid Leave puede reemplazar parte de sus ingresos cuando necesita tiempo libre por una condición de salud grave, un nuevo bebé o para cuidar a un ser querido. Nuestro equipo le ayuda a solicitar, gratis. Llámenos al 860-247-3227 o visítenos los viernes, 9am–12pm.

🗳️ Tu voz cuenta. Las elecciones son el martes 3 de noviembre. La fecha límite para inscribirse es este viernes 16 de octubre, y también puede inscribirse y votar el mismo día en persona. La votación anticipada es del 19 de octubre al 1 de noviembre.
