El Concilio

For more than 30 years El Concilio – a non-profit, community organization – has sought to serve the Latino community in the greater Kalamazoo area.  As a liaison between potential clients and service agencies, El Concilio seeks to meet the needs of a special population often hindered by language barriers, cultural differences, and unfamiliarity with service agencies and institutions.

Throughout the programs and services offered, the goal of El Concilio is to assist Hispanics in attaining self-sufficiency and a higher level of social and economic well-being.  The Council also strives to nourish and encourage the diverse cultural heritage of the Hispanic population.
