“Well, and we now serve over 250 adults and 80 children with approximately 120 dedicated volunteers - some of them bilingual - in the different course programs. The holistic nature of cielo's services is unique. Our programs and activities together address the whole person, multigenerational and extended latino families, and the diverse range of needs in latino communities. We meet the individual and the family where they are in their present circumstances by providing a safe and supportive environment which affirms their varied life experiences and cultural identities. Vulnerable spanish-speaking individuals and families, struggling in isolation, find at cielo a vibrant latino community which welcomes them, honors their courage and integrity, and encourages their active participation in creating their own path toward greater family resilience, stability, and a successful future.”
