🎉 Honoring Hispanic Heritage Month: Spotlight on Latinx-Led Nonprofits in the Triangle

Sep 25

From September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month invites us to celebrate the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of the Latinx community. At LOOP Social, we’re turning the spotlight on five incredible Latinx-led nonprofits whose work is rooted in equity, empowerment, and cultural pride across North Carolina’s Triangle region.

Each Wednesday throughout the month, we’ll feature one organization whose impact deserves to be amplified on our social channels. These groups are not only serving their communities, but they’re also reshaping systems, building bridges, and creating spaces where Latinx voices thrive.

🌟 El Centro Hispano

As the largest Latino-led nonprofit in North Carolina, El Centro Hispano serves 25 counties with programs in education, health, economic development, and leadership. Their mission is simple but powerful: to empower the Latino community and promote inclusion and equity. Whether it’s through youth mentorship or health advocacy, El Centro is a cornerstone of community resilience.
