Community Engagement

Café en el Parque is a space to honor our Hispanic culture and share life experiences to create a bond with our community. Together we get to know each other and learn about all the services we have available . Through a guided conversation we share situations that are important to us. Come, sit, listen and talk with us, together we build a strong community for our children. Everyone is invited, we are all one, we all move forward together.
