Developing and supporting leaders and projects that are key to the well-being of the growing Latinx community in Oregon.

The Latina Associates for Collaborative Engagement (LACE) is a group of bilingual, bicultural women from Afro-Latinx, Latinx, and Indigenous communities of the Americas and the Caribbean bound by a commitment for social change. We serve people, community organizations, and institutions across Oregon as facilitators and consultants interweaving equity in both systems change and social transformation.
