Latinas Juntas en Comunidad
Twice a year, Unidos will sponsor a series of eight workshops for immigrant Latina women who want to learn to advocate for themselves and their families here in Yamhill County. The workshops will address topics including
- Access to educational services for themselves and their families
- Options for health insurance and understanding the health care systems
- Immigration issues
- An understanding of local and state government
- An introduction to civic participation
The purpose of these workshops is for the women of Yamhill County to feel comfortable and well integrated as residents of Yamhill County and to exercise a stronger voice in their broader communities. Latina women will improve their English language skills in a supportive environment while gaining a better understanding of the organizations and resources in Yamhill County.
