EXPANDING OUR REACH
Servicing much more than just Latinos
CENTRO has undergone a tremendous transformation during the past 10 years, and it is no longer the neighborhood center that many Latino families grew up knowing. Thankfully, we are much more able to meet many of the social, behavioral, and health-related needs of our community than ever before. Originally founded in 1977 as Centro Communal Hispano by a group of community activists to serve Puerto Ricans, CENTRO was founded by volunteers.
CENTRO’s mission and the community it serves has evolved, as the make-up of Worcester’s population has changed. Today, we proudly serve individuals and families from North, Central, and South America, as well as people from countries across Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
OUR PURPOSE
A commitment to excellence, integrity, personal accountability, collaboration, respect, dignity and compassion.
We achieve our mission, by providing culturally and linguistically competent case management, community-based, social, behavioral, mental health, and health-related services; while preserving and sharing our diverse cultural values and experiences.
This is possible by establishing a strong bond with our clients and the communities we serve and leveraging partnerships and collaborations with other providers, colleges, universities, hospitals, government entities, and other institutions.
Our employees are committed to their clients first, then, their colleagues, and finally our institution.
