Organizing, Policy, & Advocacy

CARECEN provides education, enrichment and leadership development programs for children, youth and adults.

CARECEN Refugee Project

CARECEN was envisioned and founded by Central American refugees. During the 1980’s CARECEN took a lead role in advocating for and defending the rights of Central American refugees fleeing armed conflicts in their home countries. For decades, forced migration from the region has continued to surge.
