VolunteeroftheYear:MartyBelin

My life in the Latino community started 35 years ago when my husband and I adopted our baby son from Guatemala Since then, a large part of my heart has been in the Latino community.

My daytime job was making commercial and mortgage loans, including to people who were not citizens. in 2000 I became a Board member and treasurer of El Centro Latino for about six years and a later a volunteer at the front desk in the office when it was on Main St in downtown Durham.

I have always supported the work of El Centro, and in 2018 I visited Ed Blount’s great classes and learned a lot from him For the last four years, I have been honored to teach Citizenship classes myself, initially in person and then on Zoom.

I look forward to helping many other Latinos become fellow citizens.

Nextstepson minimizingtheimpact ofCOVID-19

We joined a pool of organizations selected as vendors by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to recruit, train and manage Community Health Workers providing COVID-19 outreach, education, and support communities in Medicaid Regions 4 and 5. The NCDHHS-funded COVID-19 Community Health Worker initiative will run through June 2022.

Raisingourvoicesfor immigrationjustice!

El Centro Hispano continues permanent work of advocacy for a just and comprehensive reform, which considers the 11 million undocumented immigrants. Together with El Colectivo, we have met with state and national legislators and planned several on-the ground events including caravans and rallies to move this initiative forward. We will continue raising our voices.

Since the effects of the Cold War, 9/11, the Great Recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed the events that have impacted North Carolina, the nation, and the world, as we stand tall for our communities. Much has changed during these thirty years at El Centro; however, our mission remains constant. Thank you for being part of our history.

This was an unprecedented cultural event which featured a program of activities in various schools, a book fair, cultural events and academic talks while the cultural component was integrated in art and music.

We kicked off our FaithAction ID card program This is to any resident who may have limited access to government issued ID card, as well as those who support safer, more inclusive and united communities. It cannot be used to vote and does not entitle card holders to any social welfare benefits. El Centro Hispano has been part of the FaithAction network since 2015
