Indiana Latino Institute

The Indiana Latino Institute, Inc. (ILI) was established in 2001 as a statewide effort to aid Latino-serving organizations throughout Indiana. Latinos are a rapidly growing minority in the state, and in the country. We believe that local organizations best understand the specific needs of their communities; thereby, Latinos can best be served by developing internal capacities at local levels. Indi

ana has seen a growth in services available for Latinos; however, they still face many disparities. Our hope is to eliminate those disparities through cooperation, collaboration, and action. Since the inception of the Indiana Latino Institute, Inc. programs and initiatives in health, education, and in other areas have benefited over 10 counties throughout Indiana. Our vision is to be the source of authority on issues affecting the Indiana Latino Community. To bring this vision to reality, we have developed a four-pronged approach to the core programming structure of ILI:

HEAR Our Voice!:

Health
Education
Advocacy
Research

OUR VOICE! Individually, each of these initiatives are meant to provide a support network of services and programming geared toward helping those in need and encouraging the Indiana Latino population and the organizations that serve them to become informed, educated and empowered. Together, these core areas will actively allow our Indiana Latino Communities to become a stronger, more self-sufficient and thriving population, able to work together for a better and more promising future for all citizens.
