Our Humble Roots
How we got started
El Programa Hispano’s humble roots began in 1982 when a small group of outreach workers from Catholic Family Services, now Catholic Charities of Oregon (CCO), conducted outreach to Latino migrant farmworkers in East Multnomah County. In 2015, with the support of CCO, El Programa became an independent 501(c)3 organization. Today, we serve more than 32,000 individuals annually in the areas of Economic Sustainability, Education, Community Wellness and UNICA, our Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault prevention, intervention, and advocacy program. Our vision is a thriving Latine Community living to our fullest potential.
Although EPHC is affiliated with the Catholic Charities Network, a candidate or participant does not need to be a Catholic to work with us or to receive services. Across our programs and services, staff of all faiths or none, work within our framework of respect for our mission, a person’s dignity and the common good.

¡Este mes pasado, nuestro equipo de Educación y Bienestar tuvo una experiencia maravillosa en la 21ª Conferencia Anual Educate organizada por MEChA en la Universidad Estatal de Portland!
Isabel Mora, Pedro Parra, Kaleb Meiers y Citlaly Hernandez representaron a El Programa Hispano Católico, liderando talleres que ayudaron a los estudiantes a conectarse con su cultura y sus voces.
Desde la creación de bolsas de medicina herbal y parches artísticos hasta la discusión de diferentes caminos hacia la universidad, fue un día inspirador para todos. Creemos en el poder de nuestra juventud para crear cambios positivos y fue un honor brindarles las herramientas para lograrlo.
¡Un agradecimiento especial a @Portland State MEChA por la invitación!
