Community Organizing Program
About the Chispanas Community Organizing Program
Chispanas focus on leadership and policy education by advocating for our community members alongside our partners. You will gain hands-on experience in community organizing by tackling on issues we care about.
A “chispa” is a spark and LCSV views each Latina as the spark that ignites change within themselves, their families and their communities at large. LCSV is now supporting Latinas within Santa Clara County by co-designing with community members a training program where Latinas learn tangible advocacy strategies not only from our very own Community Organizer and Latina Coalition staff members, but also from one another.
Why You Should Join:
Do you care about making a real difference in our community? Do you want to take action for justice and stand with our most vulnerable neighbors? The Chispanas Community Organizing Program is your space to learn, connect, and fight for change—together.
Meeting Dates:
Virtual monthly meetings – every Thursday from 6:00–7:30 PM (once a month: Aug 21, Sept 18, Oct 16, Nov 13 and Dec 11)
Hands-on community action – from joining rallies to attending coalition calls, to showing up at the frontlines of critical issues.
