From Dustin:
I had the immense honor of serving on La Casita's Board of Directors for two years before joining the staff as Grant Coordinator in February of this year. I have deeply enjoyed interacting with this organization at every level, first as a community partner as I worked for other nonprofits, then a volunteer, Board member, and finally a member of the staff. I have never encountered another organization so focused on and informed by their mission and values. If you are looking for a nonprofit to support for Give for Good Louisville, you could not find a more loving or deserving recipient. Please join La Casita's circle of support today by donating any amount that feels right for you!
Who We Are:
La Casita Center is a Latinx-led, feminist-led non-profit in Louisville, KY accompanying the Latinx community. Our mission is to empower individuals and families in this community, providing a foundation for systemic change with long-term effects.
La Casita Center was founded in 2005 when a small group of concerned women, which included social workers, teachers, mothers, and members of religious communities, recognized a growing need for community building and access to services, education, and support in the Latinx community. La Casita Center provides support and empowerment based on the needs of the community, using a ground-up strategy to help the Latinx community access services and overcome barriers.
Our vision embraces the accompaniment model, an evidence-based practice focused on empowering individuals to make changes in their own lives. La Casita Center uses accompaniment to address systemic issues through community care that is trauma-informed and rooted in equity and accessibility. We take a holistic approach that works for the whole person or family to ensure all needs are met.
What We Do:
La Casita Center offers the following programming to accompany our community.
- Mental Health: Culturally Responsive Accompaniment in Spanish
- Health Empowerment: Accurate health information and accompaniment in accessible language
- Accompaniment and Advocacy: Cultural connection and support for the community
- Legal Clinic: Connection to legal support
- Hospitality and Solidarity: Culturally informed connection to resources
- Child Enrichment: Bilingual, trauma-informed accompaniment for children
