Mano en Mano Hispanic Community Resource Center

The mission of Mano en Mano is "to build a strong community in Downeast Maine by working with diverse populations to provide affordable housing and educational opportunities, remove barriers to health and social services, and to advocate for social justice."

Description:
Mano en Mano’s programs adult English language classes and Spanish language and cultural competency classes for the local area and organizations. We are currently working on developing the first ever off-farm farm labor affordable housing in the State of Maine. We provide two scholarship programs for youth. We serve as the local contact for Maine Migrant Health Program to provide agricultural workers with access to health/dental care. We also provide information and referrals to Latino workers looking for social services, educational opportunities, legal aid, and health care.

History:
Mano en Mano began after a series of community wide potlucks that aimed to bring together local community members with the newly arrived Latino community. Mano en Mano was than established as a collaboration within the community to provide services to the Latino community in the areas of education, advocacy, and referral services to social services. We also serve the local community through Spanish class and cultural competency workshops.
