Chicanos Por La Causa Community Center

Hey friends! We’ll be officially moving over to Threads for fun and informative community center updates after the new year! Be sure to stay connected and check in with us!

Did you guys catch our Holiday Jingle Jams 3 on 3 Adult Tournament!? We had such a great time!

Keeping teens engaged and out of trouble is not only part of our prevention model, it’s personal. Help us maintain our youth programming so teens like Nathan can continue to have mentors and develop work-skills for future college-readiness. Donate here: cplc.org/education/yout…

We’re back at it tomorrow night for La Causa Youth bball! Come hangout!

Help us feed our unhoused adult community! We provide over 100 unhoused adults with a daily pre-made meal every week! Consider donating sandwiches or even bread, deli meat and cheese for their ready-made meals! Address: 3216 W. Van Buren St., (602) 399-0064. #homelessness

What does “Chicanos” mean to us? There are many words to describe Latinos. The term "Chicano" refers to Mexican Americans born in the United States & was popularized during the Civil Rights movement, when CPLC formed, 54 yrs ago. #ElValle #LaCulturaCura #BlessOurBarrio @WeAreCPLC

For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth help amplify Indigenous voices, cultures and traditions. In the spirit of indigenous healing foods, we’ll be exploring the 7 warriors foods this month with our center youth!
