Concilio Hispano, Inc. is a non-profit, community-based human service organization founded in 1969 by Latinos who wanted to improve conditions in their community. Concilio Hispano's roots reach back to the mid-1950's when families began to arrive in Cambridge from Puerto Rico. Members of this then tiny community saw the need to organize themselves into a council (concilio) in order to make their voices heard, assist in the transition to a new country, and begin to take a role in the political and social life of the community. Addressing the linguistic needs and cultural competency of the community was one of the original intents of Concilio's founders almost fifty years ago. Today, still managed by Latinos, we continue to make an impact on the lives of Latinos in the greater Boston area by offering a wide range of support programs. With 2 offices located in Cambridge and Chelsea, and an outreach that draws individuals as far north as Lawrence and as far west as Framingham, we serve more than 4,000 clients each year.
