Empowering Latinos to adapt, integrate and thrive
Über uns
Latinos are a driving force of Georgia’s economy. Strong Latino population growth is fueling economic growth in a state that prides itself in being No. 1 for business. Yet, for all the prosperity they create, Latinos lag in economic and social equity. This is where the work of the Latin American Association comes in. For 50 years, the LAA has helped Latinos overcome the barriers to economic mobility and self-sufficiency. Along the way, its footprint has extended beyond Buford Highway, to Gwinnet County and northwest Georgia. The LAA is a one-stop shop. Here clients can come in for crisis intervention and immigrants can explore options to get immigration benefits. Adults can learn English and computer skills and connect with employers. Latinas can make their entrepreneurship dreams a reality. The LAA is the catalyst that moves Latinos toward achieving the American dream and enjoying prosperity. Georgia’s economy stands to gain from Latinos’ prosperity. When Latinos thrive, Georgia prospers.

Always a joy to reach out to the community for the LAA with my work bestie Maria Fernanda Franco-Lopez. Yesterday we partnered with Caminar Latino-Latinos United for Peace and Equity to share our services with the community for their Taste of Latin Atlanta fundraiser. It was a beautiful day with beautiful people. Thank you for the opportunity! #LAA #Latinamericanassociation #caminarlatino #pazyamor #community
