Coos Hispanic Alliance
Coos Hispanic Allies (CHA) promotes Hispanic/Latinx culture and strengthens community well-being through education, community building, and advocacy.
We envision an equitable Coos County where every Hispanic/Latinx community member belongs and thrives.
When Hispanic/Latinx students and families have equitable opportunities to further their education, careers, and health, the positive impacts are multi-generational and community wide. When Hispanic/Latinx cultural appreciation and pride are strong, we build community connections, engagement, and a more resilient Coos County. As a cross-cultural organization, CHA believes that everyone has a role in creating this future.
