UPDATE 4/20/2012: We regret to inform you that La Conexión de las Américas will be closing soon due to financial struggles. We are exploring possibilities for this program to continue within another organization, so that this important work will live on even though our organization will not. We have not yet set a final date for the program. Please check back to this page for updates about where and when the program might continue, which we will post here as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
ANUNCIO 20/4/2012: Lamentamos informarle que La Conexión de las Américas va a estar cerrando, a causa de desafios financieros.

Open for visits (no appointments) Tues/Thurs 3 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Located in the Family Resource Center of Andersen United Community School
1100 Andersen Lane
Minneapolis, MN 55407
Free of charge we provide information, referrals, and direct services for Spanish-speakers with questions in any of the following areas: employment searches and resume creation, legal, financial, housing, translation or interpretation, insurance, food/clothing/shelter, government benefits, health, education and childcare, human trafficking and domestic violence. 
Our service is often invaluable for participants who may not be able
to directly access such services due to a language barrier,
unfamiliarity with the local culture, or a lack of information. Our
bilingual referral specialists work hard to strengthen Latinos’ access
to, and awareness of, available services and resources in the
community. Want to get involved?
