What We Do
Founded in 1988, La Colaborativa is a Latina-led organization that has been a steady, trusted, and fearless partner to Latinx immigrants in Greater Boston, with a focus on gateway cities and towns such as Chelsea, East Boston, Everett, Lynn, Revere, and Malden, for over 35 years.
We work in partnership with Latinx immigrants to design and deliver an array of programs, initiatives, and community organizing campaigns that serve, protect, celebrate, and uplift our people. We focus on food and housing security, economic advancement, cultural celebration, and immigrant leadership that drives policy and systems changes that benefit our communities over the long-term.
We are a trusted resource for Massachusetts’ immigrant community, disseminating linguistically- and culturally-appropriate information and resources to some of the most vulnerable community members in the state, including newly-arrived immigrants, undocumented families, non-English speakers, and low-income tenants and workers.
