Unidos Bridging Community

Unidos Bridging Community (Unidos) is a community-based, non-profit organization serving Yamhill County, Oregon.  Established in 2012, it promotes the integration, participation, representation, community wellness and success of Latinx individuals and families in Yamhill County while building bridges of understanding and support among Latinx and non-Latinx.

The work of Unidos is accomplished through education of community members, policy and community advocacy, immigration support, and leadership development in an environment where collaboration and relationship-building is essential.

Unidos collaborates with local and state government organizations, schools, churches and businesses in all of its activities. We recognize that our mission will be most successful when our Latinx community leaders are uplifted and able to share our messaging and resources with the community at large.

As we strive to support our community, we know that in order to do so, we must also support each other. In our workplace, we value empathy, kindness, acceptance, mental health, family, and self care. The team has been on the "front lines" of the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their own health to serve the community and we have learned the importance of these values and implement them daily in all parts of our work.
