League of United Latin American Citizens-LULAC
The Mission of the League of United Latin American Citizens is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States.
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan, tax-exempt organization established in 1968 to reduce poverty and discrimination, and improve life opportunities, for Hispanic Americans. NCLR has chosen to work toward this goal through two primary, complementary approaches:
The National Latino Children’s Institute (NLCI) is the voice for young
Latinos. It is the only national Latino organization that focuses exclusively on children.
Incorporated in 1997 in Texas, NLCI has its headquarters in Austin, and is a nonprofit,
nonpartisan, 501 (C) 3 tax-exempt organization. NLCI's mission is to serve as the voice
for valuing young Latinos. NLCI staff fulfills the mission by promoting and implementing
the National Latino Children's Agenda
(Agenda).
The Agenda is a statement of principles essential for the healthy and complete development of Latino children. It was developed following the creation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the lack of child-centered input to a national document developed by the leading Hispanic organizations. National leaders recognized that there wasn't a children's constituency represented in the NAFTA Latino Summit, although children represented the largest population group on the U.S.-Mexico border. As a result, representatives of 46 regional and national organizations gathered in 1994 to create the National Latino Children's Agenda, so that in the future, everyone would be able to represent Latino children's interests. Over 150 national organizations and hundreds of individuals have endorsed the National Latino Children's Agenda and many cities and groups use it as a guide to assure that children's interests are represented

National Association of Hispanic
Priests
ANSH es una asociación sacerdotal, fruto de un largo proceso de maduración y consolidación de varias asociaciones de sacerdotes, establecida de acuerdo con las directrices del Decreto "Presbiterorum Ordinis" del Concilio Vaticano II, n. 8:
"A fin de que los presbíteros se presten mutua ayuda en el cultivo de la vida espiritual e intelectual, pueden cooperar mas adecuadamente en el ministerio y se libren de los peligros que acaso se originen de la soledad, foméntese entre ellos alguna manera de vida en común o alguna convivencia..."

Hispanic Heritage (back to top)
The Hispanic Heritage Awards were established to promote and reward the best the Latino community has to offer this country in education, literature, leadership, sports and the arts, plus a lifetime achievement award. These awards are considered the most prestigious among Hispanics, and this ceremony is by far the most noteworthy event during Hispanic Heritage Month which by Presidential proclamation is September 15 to October 15 each year.
La Herencia
