The El Centro de la Raza family – an ever evolving and symbiotic group of students, faculty, staff, community members and families – strives to stand together against oppression and transcend geographic and cultural communities for the achievement of collective power through life-long learning.
Our Mission
Engaging the Raza community, El Centro de la Raza provides tools for self-determination and resiliency, supports the transformation of students through knowledge, skills and responsibility and challenges self and systems to achieve social justice. Established in 1969, for students by student and community activists, El Centro continues the legacy of advocacy, holistic support and partnerships.
