CLLARO: Improving the lives of Latinos since 1964

 We are pleased to announce this week the extraordinary people who are receiving an award during the 31st Annual CLLARO Bernie Valdez Awards luncheon.  The proceeds of this luncheon support CLLARO's Capitol Fellowship Program (CFP).  

Your support of the luncheon and in other ways is helping build a new generation of civic leaders.  The CFP for 14 years has graduated 193 college students, many the first in their family to attend  college, who want to make a difference in their community through policy.  They learn the state legislative process by working with state legislators and/or advocacy groups who are state policy experts.  This luncheon enables us to offer stipends to participate in this program while also going to school.  

CLLARO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Founded as LARASA in 1964.  Our mission is to help Latinos empower themselves through leadership, collaborative advocacy, and policy research to strengthen Colorado.
