Noche Bella brings together people who share our vision for a thriving, respected and engaged Latino community and wish to support our work to make this vision a reality. We provide education and family programs to children and parents beginning in early childhood and extending through the school years and beyond.
About Latino Network:
Latino Network provides opportunities, services and advocacy for the
education, leadership development and civic engagement of Latino youth
and families in Multnomah County every year. Our work springs from the
core belief in Latino community self-determination—that is, the ability
of community members to participate meaningfully in the decisions that
affect their lives and the lives of their families.
Latino Network was founded in 1996 by community leaders who grew
concerned about the lack of adequate resources to meet the needs of the
growing Latino community. Since that time, we have evolved to become an
organization that also encompasses transformational programs aimed at
educating and empowering Multnomah County Latinos. Low achievement
scores, youth violence and high drop out rates undermine the Latino
community’s potential. We address these issues by promoting early
literacy, encouraging parent involvement, working with gang-involved and
adjudicated youth and families, and providing academic support and
activities to high school aged youth.
