Servicios de La Raza

Background Statement

In 1972, a dozen advocates for North Denver's Chicano communities came together to form Servicios de La Raza (Servicios). What began as a bilingual human services organization to serve Denver's low-income Spanish-speaking populations has evolved into a nonprofit that helps everyone and anyone in need with linguistically and culturally responsive social services.

Since its founding over 53 years ago, Servicios has continued to respond to the needs of any community member through programs for: behavioral health, youth, victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and general crime, individuals living with HIV, mental health, substance abuse, health access, ex-offender reintegration, workforce development and financial empowerment, statewide initiatives that target Latino youths and families throughout Colorado, and basic emergency services for those experiencing crisis situations.

Thanks to your contributions, you helped Servicios serve/reach 174,624 community members!
