Enrich, Equip, and Empower the Latinx Community in Brooklyn and Beyond

At Mixteca, we believe cultural transformation happens when we empower individuals. We believe everyone has the right to thrive, regardless of political and social barriers. And we believe immigrants possess incredible potential that is only realized when we actively address risk factors in our community like poverty, limited educational resources, lack of legal advocacy, and unequal access to culturally appropriate socio-emotional support and mental health counseling.
While we have passionately served the burgeoning Latinx population in Sunset Park since 2000, we believe these actions have powerful ripple effects that transcend a single neighborhood. Our community has the potential to create positive change throughout Brooklyn, New York City, and beyond.
At Mixteca, our efforts are organized around four interlocking pursuits:
Mental Health Services:
Serving and teaching others about appropriate communication and stress management techniques, especially in families that have experienced domestic gender-based violence
Physical Health Services:
Providing culturally informed services that promote public health through educational programs and preventative efforts
Education + Skill Building:
Increasing income generation capacity and financial literacy; Providing ESOL, literacy, and computer classes; Offering skills-based training for finding and maintaining a desirable job and supplementing income
Immigrant Justice + Advocacy:
Developing abilities and strategies to advocate for social justice; Facilitating referrals to legal services; Alleviating the negative effects of isolation by bringing people together, offering practical support, and promoting community
Please support our efforts by donating or fundraising for one of our campaigns below.
